Technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into fuels and plastic feedstocks using electricity is gaining attention as a core technology in the era of carbon neutrality. In particular, ethylene and ...

Catalysts do several surprising things to assist with daily life -- from bread making to turning raw materials into fuels more efficiently. Now, researchers have developed a way to speed up the ...

Catalysis—the reduction of activation energy in a chemical reaction by a catalyst—plays a key role in the chemical industry, as well as in the development of sustainable technologies essential for ...

Scientists have directly measured the minuscule electron sharing that makes precious-metal catalysts so effective. Their new technique, IET, reveals how molecules bind and react on metal surfaces with ...

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the Collaborative Research Center “Molecular Heterogeneous Catalysis in Defined Confined Geometries” (CRC 1333) for a third funding period. This enables ...

Scientific discovery is often tedious, expensive, incremental trial and error, but the advent of artificial intelligence is accelerating the process. A multi-institutional team based in China recently ...

A low-loading IrO₂@TaB₂ nano-diboride support has been shown to deliver ultrastable oxygen evolution at current densities above 2 A cm⁻² in acidic water electrolysis. The TaB₂ framework spatially ...

Catalysis provides viable solutions for achieving sustainability in response to today's environmental demands. The development of newer, sophisticated homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis methods ...
