Researchers from National Taiwan University and Chulalongkorn University developed a copper-based catalyst system that ...

A cheap, earth-abundant metal is proving it can do work long reserved for far more expensive catalysts, and the implications ...

The field of catalysis, particularly in oxidation reactions, occupies a central role in modern chemistry and industrial processes. These reactions underpin energy conversion, environmental remediation ...

Rhodium is one of the most powerful catalytic metals known to chemistry. Small amounts of it can drive reactions that produce ...

Pairing two catalysts in a single, illuminated reaction flask proves to be a light-bulb moment for organic synthesis. The light from a standard electric light bulb is the key to a simple, green ...

Catalysis is a fundamental process in chemical science whereby a catalyst accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. By providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower ...

For the first time, chemists have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to the ruthenium and ...

The discipline of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) seeks to control and understand the networks of reactions that occur in ‘reactors’ ranging from cellular compartments up to world-scale ...

CHESTNUT HILL, MA (Dec. 13, 2012) – A chemical nanostructure developed by Boston College researchers behaves much like the pores of the skin, serving as a precise control for a typically stubborn ...

Researchers demonstrate a chemical reaction produced through an intermediary created by a separate chemical reaction, findings that could impact environmental remediation and fuel production. A ...

In a recent study published in ACS Catalysis, researchers at Chiba University unveiled a redox-adaptive strategy that allows a single homogeneous cerium catalyst to catalyze two chemically distinct ...

Catalysts are at the heart of most man-made and natural chemical reactions. Metal catalysts serve as the linchpin for producing many of the chemicals we use on a daily basis, such as gasoline, ...
