How do you keep a copper catalyst from losing its oomph? Just add a dusting of platinum, says a new study published in Nature Materials. A team of researchers, including scientists at the Department ...

Catalyst deactivation is mainly caused by catalyst sintering, and causes billions of dollars of extra expenditure on catalyst regeneration. Gaining insights into the sintering kinetics and mechanisms ...

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 ...

Nano-catalysts usually have higher catalytic activity than traditional bulk catalysts. And it is widely acknowledged that the smaller the particle size of the active component is, the higher the ...

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 ...

• 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 ...

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.
