Recent research has demonstrated that a rhodium (Rh) cluster of an optimal, intermediate size—neither too small nor too large ...

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 ...

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 employment of readily available alcohols as building blocks in C–C coupling reactions has received great research interest. In particular, the deoxygenative homocoupling of benzyl alcohols is ...

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 ...

Abstract This study investigated the performances of Rh single-atom catalysts (SACs), cluster catalysts, and nanoparticle (NP) catalysts in olefin ...

A Northwestern University-led international team of scientists has, for the first time, directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and ...
