Surfaces are special states of matter. New experiments show that the non-ideal behaviour of nanoclusters on the surface of a catalyst strongly affects their tendency to form larger clusters, and ...

WHOEVER SAID, "It's difficult to make predictions, especially about the future," probably wasn't referring to Fischer-Tropsch (FT) chemistry. But the adage is apt just the same. The economics of ...

The In₂O₃ catalyst prepared via precipitation undergoes an important structural evolution during CO₂ hydrogenation. Initial activation involves nanoparticle sintering and formation of oxygen vacancies ...

In the study, which was published July 15 in the ACS journal Nano Letters, the researchers described a possible new way to solve one of the key causes of degradation of platinum catalysts, sintering, ...

For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics and a two-dimensional material, opening the door for new designs of nanocomposites with such applications as solid-state ...

Green energy is a quickly evolving industry that is always looking for ways to improve, and recent developments in dual-atom catalysts have the potential to completely transform energy conversion ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – A byproduct of landfilling, livestock farming, coal mining and other human activities, methane emissions are one of the key drivers of climate change. Yet for decades scientists have ...

A team at the University of Science and Technology of China developed a new catalyst that requires small amounts of platinum and produces high catalytic activity for fuel cell commercialization.

• A novel platinum-alumina catalyst that allows removal by oxidation of harmful volatile organic compounds present in factory exhaust gases has been developed. • The reaction temperature is 100 ºC ...
