Catalyst surfaces work as coordinated networks, not isolated hotspots, a new study reveals, opening doors to designing more efficient catalysts for clean energy.

A plentiful supply of clean energy is lurking in plain sight. It is the hydrogen we can extract from water (H 2 O) using renewable energy. Scientists are seeking low-cost methods for producing clean ...

A new catalyst structure offers a potential pathway toward more cost-effective hydrogen production via water electrolysis. The material centers on mesoporous single-crystalline Co3O4 doped with ...

Researchers created a catalyst that purifies sewage and produces hydrogen fuel simultaneously. This innovation could make sewage treatment more economical by generating a valuable product. The ...

At Summit Brewing Co.’s canning facility in St. Paul, a conveyor belt springs to life at the push of a button. Cans of beer would usually run along the belt, but not today; this is just for ...

What if chemical manufacturers could cut their energy costs while eliminating toxic heavy metals from their processes? Researchers at Nagoya University have developed a catalyst system that does ...

Scientists have developed a new material that uses sunlight to break down PFAS, a group of long-lasting pollutants often ...
