Catalysts composed from tiny metal particles play an important role in many areas of technology—from fuel cells to production of synthetic fuels for energy storage. The exact behavior of catalysts ...

This schematic illustrates how regulating electron spin states through six key strategies—including defect engineering, valence modulation, and magnetic field application—can optimize catalytic ...

Scientists examine how a little-studied catalytic phenomenon can have outsized effects on chemical efficiency and selectivity ...

A nanotechnology pioneer has uncovered a transformative approach to harnessing the catalytic power of aluminum nanoparticles by annealing them in various gas atmospheres at high temperatures.

What are the primary challenges associated with using spectroscopy to study industrial catalytic reactors, and how does the iso-potential operando DRIFTS technique overcome these challenges? Using ...

Peroxide (OO) forms on CuO by annealing in O2, leading to a larger oxygen surface population. Greater oxygen coverage prevents organic species from reacting on the oxygen-rich CuO surface (bottom ...

Usually, catalytic reactions are analyzed by checking which chemicals go into a chemical reactor and which come out. But as it turns out, in order to properly understand and optimize catalysts, much ...

At TU Wien (Vienna, scientists use microscopy techniques to observe chemical reactions on catalysts more precisely than before yielding a wealth of detail. This made clear why some effects cannot be ...
