Iridium-based catalysts are needed to produce hydrogen using water electrolysis. Now, a team at HZB has shown that the newly developed P2X catalyst, which requires only a quarter of the iridium, is as ...

An international team of researchers has developed a homogeneous catalytic process that converts methanol, carbon dioxide and ...

A novel catalysis scheme enables chemical reactions that were previously virtually impossible. The method is also environmentally friendly and does not require rare and precious metals. The ...

How well a catalyst works often depends on the surface it is placed on. For years, it has been known that carbon substrates work well with precious metal catalysts, but it could never be properly ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester and Hebei University of Technology have identified how a new class of catalyst can break down lignin into useful chemical building blocks, offering a more ...

Chemists have discovered a simple iron catalyst that can turn common household bleach into a highly efficient reagent for making epoxides (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2026, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.6c06785). The ...

With an improved catalyst, ORNL chemists converted two greenhouse gases, methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), to syngas, a valuable mix of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). A chemical ...

A research team at Washington University in St. Louis has run a platinum-free hydrogen electrode for more than 1,000 hours at current densities that meet industrial benchmarks, a result that could ...
