Catalysis—the reduction of activation energy in a chemical reaction by a catalyst—plays a key role in the chemical industry, ...

For the first time, chemists at the University of Bonn and Lehigh University in the U.S. have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost ...

A major discovery is reshaping how scientists think about catalysts. Researchers have, for the first time, captured oxygen ...

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction. The catalyst is not used up or chemically changed during the reaction. Enzymes are catalysts that work inside the cells of living ...

Diamond nanoparticles can catalyze a major industrial reaction more effectively and under simpler conditions than the standard commercial transition-metal-based catalyst typically used for that ...

A new study reveals an unexpected pathway in catalytic systems, where oxygen does not remain confined to surfaces but can ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Back in the early 1800's it was observed that certain chemicals can speed up a chemical reaction – a process that became known as catalysis and that has become the foundation of ...

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 ...
