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 ...

Catalysis—the reduction of activation energy in a chemical reaction by a catalyst—plays a key role in the chemical industry, ...

Development of chiral catalysts Enantioselective C–C and C–X bond-forming reactions Different types of chirality (e.g., stereocenter, axial, planar, inherent, helical, torsional, topological) ...

Catalysis underpins modern fuel synthesis by improving reaction efficiency, reducing energy demand, and lowering production costs. Currently, global fossil ...

Oxygen evolution is considered one of the most energy-intensive steps in water electrolysis and is therefore a key factor for more efficient green hydrogen production. Modeling of the reaction ...

A simple new technique could boost the efficiency of some key chemical processing, by up to a factor of 100,000, researchers report. The reactions are at the heart of petrochemical processing, ...

Metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) single-atom catalysts are a promising type of catalyst that could help provide cost-effective alternatives to platinum-based ones. However, there are still some aspects ...

With the aim to precisely understand its function, researchers from the Inorganic Chemistry Department and Interface Science ...

A new study reveals an unexpected pathway in catalytic systems, where oxygen does not remain confined to surfaces but can ...
