Noble metals have been widely used as heterogeneous catalysts because they easily stand out with high activity and selectivity for many reactions of both scientific and industrial interest. At least a ...
Expensive noble metals often play a vital role in illuminating screens or converting solar energy into fuels. Now, chemists have succeeded in replacing these rare elements with a significantly cheaper ...
Can we use nothing more than sunlight and inexpensive materials to produce clean hydrogen fuel while also removing toxic pollutants from water? That question shaped our recent work with Îł-In2S3, a ...
Billions of noble metal catalysts are used worldwide for the production of chemicals, energy generation, or cleaning the air. However, the resources required for this purpose are expensive and limited ...
Ball-and-stick model of a manganese carbene–pyridine complex. The central manganese atom is bonded directly to carbene carbon atoms from imidazole rings and to nitrogen atoms from pyridine groups. The ...
Figure 3: Summary of activities and selectivities for reactions catalysed by Ir(Me)-mOCR-Myo. Figure 4: Directed evolution strategy used to obtain Ir(Me)-mOCR-Myo mutants capable of producing either ...
Scientists in Belgium have developed a simple and environmentally-benign method for recovering precious metals from metal wires and spent automotive catalysts. Using highly-concentrated aluminium ...
Researchers developed an yttrium doped nickel catalyst that creates stable oxygen vacancies to improve ammonia decomposition for clean hydrogen production.
