Single-atom catalysts (SACs) comprise individual metal atoms—such as palladium (Pd), or platinum (Pt)—anchored on a high-surface-area solid support, which both isolates the metal and influences its ...

SACs offer transformative platforms for selective hydrogenation, bridging homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. This review outlines the historical development, synthetic methodologies, atomic ...

Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many industrial processes and often involves solid metal as the catalyst. Ammonia ...

Researchers tested a strategy for developing single-atom catalysts that may help us develop more efficient methods for water purification. All humans need clean water to live. However, purifying water ...

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

Publishing in Communications Chemistry, researchers from Kyushu University have discovered a simple method of generating ...

A major discovery is reshaping how scientists think about catalysts. Researchers have, for the first time, captured oxygen ...

Turning carbon dioxide into useful chemicals is a key strategy for building closed-loop systems, a key step in mitigating climate change. But CO 2 is notoriously hard to activate, often requiring high ...
