Single-atom catalysts are at the cutting edge of catalysis research, offering a blend of high efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability. Single-atom catalysts are defined by their structure where ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

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 ...

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 ...

Designing a catalyst is incredibly difficult—yet researchers at Tohoku University have successfully created a catalyst that is ranked as one of the best. Their catalyst greatly speeds up the oxygen ...

Researchers proposed a novel strategy for using a magnetic field to boost the efficiency of single-atom catalysts -- thus speeding up helpful reactions used for ammonia production and wastewater ...

According to a study published in Nature Communications, a research team led by Associate Professor Jiong Lu from the Department of Chemistry at the National University of Singapore devised an ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves durability for green hydrogen production. (Nanowerk News) Producing green ...
