Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many ...

Software simulates 370,000 steps in under 100 hours, potentially cutting demand for time on supercomputers by orders of ...

A research team reports they have created an organic reaction called α-allylation with simple ketones and allyl alcohols.

A new approach to advanced recycling combines heterogeneous catalysis with electromagnetic induction, enabling the conversion ...

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) comprise individual metal atoms—such as palladium (Pd), or platinum (Pt)—anchored on a high-surface-area solid support, which both isolates the metal and influences its ...

A new class of artificial intelligence models is cutting the time needed to identify promising catalytic materials from weeks ...

Researchers have outlined a bold new roadmap for harnessing heterogeneous catalysis to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the so-called 'forever chemicals' that have contaminated ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are ...
