A new catalyst strategy developed at Institute of Science Tokyo uses BaSi2 as a support for nickel and cobalt to decompose ...

Alkaline earth metal complexes have emerged as a dynamic field of study, challenging the long-standing dominance of transition metal catalysts in organic synthesis. These complexes, based on abundant ...

A team led by Abigail Doyle at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that phosphines can show transition- metal-like reactivity in a light-driven reaction between amine-containing rings and ...

Researchers have uncovered an unusual new form of aluminium that challenges long-held assumptions about how this common metal ...

A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction.

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 ...

Aluminum is the third-most abundant element in Earth’s crust, after oxygen and silicon. The metal is low cost and highly recyclable, thus making it attractive for chemists looking for more sustainable ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka created a reagent for important building-block molecules with an abundant main-group element, gallium. These early findings show that an organic gallium ...

Metal valence state was identified as a key factor steering the anion reactivity and thus “indirectly” affecting the Li-bond strength, which further determined the conversion kinetics of lithium (poly ...

Breakthrough in Hydrogen Production from Ammonia at Lower Temperatures Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo just hit a new milestone in hydrogen produc ...
