At the heart of these systems is the catalyst: a highly specialized material that decomposes hydrazine within milliseconds, withstands extreme temperatures, and continues to function reliably after ...

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) comprise individual metal atoms—such as palladium (Pd), or platinum (Pt)—anchored on a high-surface-area solid support, which both isolates the metal and influences its ...

The synthesis of methanol from carbon dioxide can be dramatically improved by switching the catalyst support from zirconia to ...

Researchers have outlined a bold new roadmap for harnessing heterogeneous catalysis to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the so-called 'forever chemicals' that have contaminated ...

Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are ...

Schematic illustration of synergy catalysis of Ru single atom and Ru nanoparticle. The main role of Ru single atom and Ru nanoparticle is to absorb and dissociate hydrogen, and activate quinoline, ...

A major breakthrough in liquid catalysis is transforming how essential products are made, making the chemical manufacturing process faster, safer and more sustainable than ever before. Researchers ...

Single-atom catalysts (SACs), with their excellent metal atom utilization and unique physicochemical properties, hold promise for broad applications, especially in heterogeneous catalysis and energy ...
