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 ...

Catalytic function and its efficiency play a significant role in industrial reactions, and consistent reforms are made in the ...

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions. Physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions, according to ...
