A catalyst developed at LIKAT in Rostock opens up new avenues in the synthesis of fine chemicals for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and household chemicals, for example. Its effect is based on ...

Catalysts play a vital role in modern society, supporting processes from metallurgy to pharmaceutical production. To reduce ...

Recently, the team led by Professor WU Changzheng from School of Chemistry and Materials Science from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in cooperation with the team led by Prof. WU ...

A combination of the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis could enable the development of sustainable catalysts with novel reactivity and selectivity. Although heterogeneous catalysts ...

Conventional homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts each have their advantages and disadvantages. While heterogeneous catalysts (those in a different phase from the reactants, such as a solid ...

New research published in the journal Nature Communications showcases a new type of catalyst that may lead to new, sustainable ways of making and using molecules and protecting the supply of precious ...

Many modern industrial processes depend on complex chemistry. Take fertilizer production, for example: to make it, companies must first produce ammonia, a key ingredient. These chemical processes need ...

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, ...

Oxygen evolution is considered one of the most energy-intensive steps in water electrolysis and is therefore a key factor for more efficient green hydrogen production. Modelling of the reaction ...
