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

Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many ...

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

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 ...

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction. The catalyst is not used up or chemically changed during the reaction. Enzymes are catalysts that work inside the cells of living ...

Chemists say they’ve found a way to turn breadcrumbs into hydrogen, potentially offering a sustainable alternative to one of ...

A redesigned catalyst appears to sidestep a major bottleneck in CO2-to-methanol conversion by separating where key reaction ...

A recipe for better electrocatalysts takes inspiration from an ancient reaction used in fireworks, known as the pharaoh’s snakes. With heat and the foaming power of baking soda, a simple mix of ...

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 ...
