Efficient methanol synthesis is considered a promising approach for carbon resource recycling. Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is thermodynamically favored at low temperatures, but ...

Electric fields arise spontaneously at the surface of solid catalysts immersed in liquids, and this common yet largely overlooked phenomenon directly affects the rates of a large class of reactions.

Researchers have developed a bimetallic catalysis technique using gold and palladium nanoparticles on a conductive support that could lead to new design pathways for greener production of renewable ...

The film discusses the factors influencing chemical reactions and their rates, illustrating concepts such as rusting, explosion potential of dust, and the role of catalysts. It explains how different ...

A team of chemists has demonstrated a way to form sulfur-sulfur bonds at room temperature without any external catalyst, ...

Solvents are known to play key roles in solution-phase catalytic chemistry. For example, a good solvent can boost reaction rates by increasing the solubility and mass transfer of reagents relative to ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- Photocatalysis—a chemical reaction driven by light in the presence of a photocatalyst—is poised to play a key role in next-generation technologies, including hydrogen production ...

Ammonia isn't just for cleaning supplies and plant fertilizers—it can also serve as a precursor to clean hydrogen energy. The decomposition of ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon-free pathway that ...

New research published in Nature Materials from Associate Professor Tanja Cuk and colleagues sheds light on a fundamental chemical reaction — the breaking apart of water to produce a molecular fuel ...

Researchers demonstrate a chemical reaction produced through an intermediary created by a separate chemical reaction, findings that could impact environmental remediation and fuel production. A ...
