Chemical reactions are usually accompanied by thermal effects, inevitably resulting in temperature change in the reaction system. Therefore, temperature is an important parameter in reactions, which ...

Electric fields arise spontaneously at the surface of solid catalysts immersed in liquids, and this common yet largely overlooked phenomenon directly affects the rates of a large class of reactions.

MXenes are adept at hosting catalytically active particles. This property can be exploited to create more potent catalyst materials that significantly accelerate and enhance the oxygen evolution ...

I was fascinated by the idea of jet packs when I was a kid. They were sci-fi magic, and the idea that you could strap into an oversized backpack wrapped in tinfoil and fly around was very enticing.

Platinum has long powered hydrogenation reactions across the chemical industry. But its cost and limited supply have pushed ...

Since their discovery in 1991, researchers have made steady progress in CNT synthesis methods. Early techniques like arc discharge and laser ablation could produce small quantities of high-quality ...

Green hydrogen can be produced directly in a photoelectrochemical cell, splitting water with solar energy. However, this requires the development of super-efficient photoelectrodes that need to ...

A new catalyst design could transform how acetaldehyde is made from renewable bioethanol. Researchers found that a carefully ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have unveiled a clever new approach to photocatalytic hydrogen production ...

A fundamental breakthrough in chemistry promises to unlock ammonia as a clean fuel, and it could help decarbonize the entire chemical industry in the process. Rice University researchers have created ...
