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

In chemical processes for producing pharmaceuticals, catalysts are a core technology that determines production speed and ...

Atomic steps at the surface of a catalyst play an important role in heterogeneous catalysis, for example as special sites with increased catalytic activity. Exposure to reactants can cause entirely ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research shows that metal-oxide catalysts can sometimes release oxygen from within their structure, enhancing chemical activity. Chemical reactions that release oxygen in the presence of a ...

Scientists from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT), Japan, have discovered that a catalyst poison, which deactivates homogeneous catalysts, can be "reborn" as an efficient ligand by ...

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

Researchers at The University of Manchester have achieved a groundbreaking advancement in catalyst technology. They have developed a new catalyst which has been shown to have a wide variety of uses ...
