Researchers from National Taiwan University and Chulalongkorn University developed a copper-based catalyst system that ...

Composed of five or more elements in nearly equal amounts, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising catalysts due ...

Green synthesis and catalytic methods are revolutionising organic chemistry by offering sustainable alternatives to traditional synthetic processes. These approaches prioritise the use of ...

In-situ quick XAFS measurements to unveil reaction mechanisms. X-rays were passed through a reacting sample under the influence of microwaves. The team discovered that a mononuclear intermediate ...

The novel iron-based catalyst exhibits superior performance for ammonia (NH3) synthesis compared to a well-established, century-old counterpart. By designing this new catalyst with an inverse ...

A cheap, earth-abundant metal is proving it can do work long reserved for far more expensive catalysts, and the implications ...

Researchers at Koç University have developed a light-driven method to produce porous semiconducting polymers under ambient conditions without the need for metal catalysts. The study, led by Prof. Dr.

Industrial processes often release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, posing significant risks to human ...

Scientists have long considered ketones (a fundamental chemical class) and esters (molecules formed when an acid reacts with an alcohol) to be locked treasure chests of possibilities. Ubiquitous as ...

Precious metals are one of the big workhorses of chemistry. Cross couplings, metathesis and photochemistry all depend on ...
