Non-precious metal nanoparticles could one day replace expensive catalysts for hydrogen production. However, it is often difficult to determine what reaction rates they can achieve, especially when it ...

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 ...

A new study examines an aspect of photocatalysis that normally does not get much recognition: recyclability. In chemistry, in order to achieve efficiency of any chemical reaction, a catalyst is added ...

A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota and University of Massachusetts Amherst has discovered new technology that can speed up chemical reactions 10,000 times faster than the current ...

The combination of catalysis and plasmas under moderate temperatures is an emerging field [1]. There are two ways in which techniques are usually combined. The first is by introducing a catalyst in ...

With nearly 99 % yield in just 15 minutes, a novel catalyst sets a precedent for green fuel production. Study: Ultrafast Biodiesel Synthesis via K 2 CO3 -Supported Mg-Al Hydrotalcite Catalyst With ...

A recipe for better electrocatalysts takes inspiration from an ancient reaction used in fireworks, known as the pharaoh’s snakes. With heat and the foaming power of baking soda, a simple mix of ...
