(Nanowerk News) The production of more than 90 percent of all chemical products we use in our everyday lives relies on catalysts. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions, can reduce the energy required ...

A study explores a high-entropy alloy of Au, Ag, Cu, Pd, and Pt, evaluating its potential use in mid-infrared metasurfaces for optical applications. High-entropy alloys, as the name implies, are ...

Ball-and-stick model of a manganese carbene–pyridine complex. The central manganese atom is bonded directly to carbene carbon atoms from imidazole rings and to nitrogen atoms from pyridine groups. The ...

Noble-metal catalysts are used in many processes in the chemical industry. A reduction of the amount of noble metal required for their production is an important contribution to a sustainable resource ...

This diagram shows the different preparation methods of 2D noble metal-based intermetallic electrocatalysts and the different reactions that this electrocatalyst can be used for. As demand grows for ...

Researchers have helped minimize the cost of an important class of chemical transformations: converting nitriles into primary amines. Their experimental protocol uses a cheap nickel catalyst instead ...

Waste from computers and cell phones, solar panels and other discarded electronics are becoming an important source of noble metals alongside mining. Researchers at the University of Helsinki have ...

Hydrogen peroxide is a widely used chemical essential to water treatment, disinfection, and green manufacturing, yet its ...
