Single-atom catalysis—using isolated metal atoms dispersed on a solid as a catalyst—has grown into a field of research dedicated to the development of efficient chemical, thermo-, electro- and ...

An open and undercoordinated environment enables enhanced binding of gas molecules, illustrating the potential for boosted reactivity in catalytic applications. Catalysts play a vital role in modern ...

Scientists precisely removed a gold nanocluster's core atom and outer electron, revealing how spin state affects catalytic activity without structural loss. (Nanowerk News) In a breakthrough that ...

Single-atom catalysts promise cleaner chemistry. Squeezing the maximum value from every atom, cutting waste, and reshaping how industries tackle energy, emissions, and sustainable production. Artistic ...

Primary amines are extensively used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and material science. Among various reported methods to access primary amines, the direct amination of ...

A collaborative effort between researchers at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) and the University of California, Davis has resulted in the development of a novel methodology for ...

In catalysis research, investigators need to carefully control the environment that catalytic materials are exposed to so that they are not poisoned or catalyze undesired side reactions. Here, ...

Copper atoms trapped in MXene nanochannels remove 94.9% of bisphenol A in 5 minutes by concentrating reactants and lowering ...

In a quiet lab at Argonne National Laboratory, Saw-Wai Hla and his team were huddled around their instruments late one night when they detected the spectral signature they had been searching for. The ...
