The rapid accumulation of plastic waste is currently posing significant risks for both human health and the environment on ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have developed an “anchoring-borrowing” strategy, combined with facet engineering, to develop a new class of artful single-atom catalysts (ASACs). These ...

Primary amines are extensively used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and material science. Among various reported methods to access primary amines, the direct amination of ...

A research team at the Politecnico di Milano has developed an innovative single-atom catalyst capable of selectively adapting its chemical activity. This is a crucial step forward in sustainable ...

A recent article in Nature Nanotechnology introduced a novel approach to enhance iridium catalyst performance by coordinating iridium single atoms (Ir 1) with cobalt–iron hydroxides (Co,Fe)-OH and ...

Storing renewable energy as hydrogen could soon become much easier thanks to a new catalyst based on single atoms of platinum. Storing renewable energy as hydrogen could soon become much easier thanks ...

Scientists have developed a new platform for single-atom catalysis. The system isolates metal atoms on carefully designed polymer chains. It aims to boost efficiency and selectivity in chemical ...

Anchoring single metal atoms on ultrathin supports improves catalyst efficiency and stability, making hydrogen production cleaner, more scalable, and less dependent on scarce metals. (Nanowerk ...

A collaborative effort between researchers at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) and the University of California, Davis has resulted in the development of a novel methodology for ...
