For the first time, chemists at the University of Bonn and Lehigh University in the U.S. have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost ...

In chemical processes for producing pharmaceuticals, catalysts are a core technology that determines production speed and ...

A research team reports they have created an organic reaction called α-allylation with simple ketones and allyl alcohols.

A cheap, earth-abundant metal is proving it can do work long reserved for far more expensive catalysts, and the implications ...

A new study reports a breakthrough in sustainable energy materials by transforming biomass into a high-performance catalyst that could replace expensive platinum in fuel cells and metal-air batteries.

A newly developed molecular catalyst specifically tailored for mechanochemical reaction conditions enables high-efficiency transformations at near room temperature. The first-ever molecular catalyst ...

In a recent study published in Science, a team of researchers led by Rice University discusses a light-activated catalyst that successfully uses inexpensive raw materials to convert ammonia into clean ...

This new cerium-based catalyst interconverts between two oxidation states with distinct chemical properties, enabling two completely different reactions to occur in the same container. Most of the ...

The discipline of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) seeks to control and understand the networks of reactions that occur in ‘reactors’ ranging from cellular compartments up to world-scale ...

For the first time, chemists have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to the ruthenium and ...
