The process of catalysis—in which a material speeds up a chemical reaction—is crucial to the production of many of the chemicals used in our everyday lives. But even though these catalytic processes ...

Researchers have developed a self-driving chemistry lab that can autonomously search through hundreds of catalyst recipes and ...

In synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry, epoxides are very important because they provide multiple functional groups containing building blocks 1,2. The nucleophilic ring opening of ...

Systematical and critical learning from industrial catalysis will bring inspiration for emerging nanocatalytic medicine, but the relevant knowledge is quite limited so far. In this review, we briefly ...

The CO 2-assisted dehydrogenation of light alkanes not only enables the production of basic chemicals like light olefins but also promotes the resource utilization of CO 2, co-producing feedstocks ...

Scientists have made an advancement in the field of electrocatalysis. Their latest research sheds light on how catalysts can stay in unanticipated forms during the process of nitrate reduction. The ...

Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions or allow them to occur at lower temperatures or pressures. 1 When catalysts are used to control and enhance reactions, the process is called ...

Scientists from China University of Petroleum have developed new strategies using carbon-based catalysts in CO 2 hydrogenation that make use of the many varied roles that carbon can play in catalytic ...

A South Korean research team has discovered a high-performance catalyst for green hydrogen production by combining data from two different types of catalyst material groups using artificial ...

As the chemical industry looks to cut emissions, reduce toxic waste, and decarbonize its core processes, one area under close watch is catalysis. Catalysts are the unsung heroes of industrial ...
