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.

Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

The synthesis of methanol from carbon dioxide can be dramatically improved by switching the catalyst support from zirconia to ...

Catalysts are essential to modern industry, accelerating reactions used to produce everything from fertilizers and fuels to medicines and hydrogen energy. But until now, scientists could not directly ...

How do you keep a copper catalyst from losing its oomph? Just add a dusting of platinum, says a new study published in Nature Materials. A team of researchers, including scientists at the Department ...

Scientists are looking for ways to make chemical reactions more efficient with the help of catalysts. This would ideally use ...

A carefully engineered gold catalyst has just pushed green chemistry into new territory, setting a performance benchmark that had resisted improvement for a decade. By pairing tiny deposits of gold ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a groundbreaking air-stable ruthenium catalyst. The new catalyst maintains high reactivity while eliminating the need for specialized ...

Green synthesis and catalysis in organic chemistry represent a pivotal shift towards sustainable laboratory practices by minimising the use of hazardous reagents and reducing waste generation. This ...
