High-entropy alloys (HEAs) offer tunable compositions and surface structures, presenting significant potential for creating novel active sites to enhance CO 2 reduction (CO 2 RR) catalysis, a key ...

A newly developed molecular catalyst specifically tailored for mechanochemical reaction conditions enables high-efficiency transformations at near room temperature. The first-ever molecular catalyst ...

Scientists have long noted with interest that in one of nature’s crucial chemical reactions—the oxygen evolution reaction—it is manganese, rather than more plentiful similar elements such as iron, ...

Platinum, one of the rarest and most expensive metals on Earth, may soon find itself out of a job. Known for its allure in engagement rings, platinum is also treasured for its ability to jump-start ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

Most of the drugs, plastics, and industrial materials widely used today are produced through chemical reactions. In general, most high-performance and sophisticated substances have complex structures, ...

Only a very small mass of catalyst is needed to increase the rate of a reaction. However, not all reactions have suitable catalysts. Different substances catalyse different reactions. The table ...

For the first time, chemists have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to the ruthenium and ...

This new cerium-based catalyst interconverts between two oxidation states with distinct chemical properties, enabling two completely different reactions to occur in the same container. Most of the ...

Alternatives to expensive palladium catalysts are gaining acceptance for commercial API synthesis. Cross-coupling reactions enable the synthesis of complex building blocks and intermediates with ...
