With the aim to precisely understand its function, researchers from the Inorganic Chemistry Department and Interface Science ...

Virtually all chemical and fuel production relies on catalysts, which accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. Most of these reactions take place in huge reactor vessels ...

When an LNO catalyst with a nickel-rich surface carries out a water-splitting reaction, its surface atoms rearrange from a cubic to a hexagonal pattern and its efficiency doubles. Deliberately ...

A research team has been using high-intensity X-rays to observe a single catalyst nanoparticle at work. The experiment has revealed for the first time how the chemical composition of the surface of an ...

From laundry detergents and self-cleaning ovens to the manufacturing of fuels, plastics and medications, catalysts play a vital role in everyday products and industry. These substances, which make ...

A study nearly 10 years in the making has shed new insight into how oxides can regularly sustain themselves, using the oxygen inherent in their own structures. This paper reflects a mammoth effort by ...

New research suggests aluminium could replace costly transition metals as catalysts in pharmaceuticals, benefiting India's ...
