A research team led by Wang Guozhong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel method to precisely control the size of nickel (Ni) ...

Catalytic hydrogenation is a cornerstone process in chemical manufacturing, particularly in the production of hydrogen peroxide via the anthraquinone process. This approach involves the selective ...

A paper recently published in the journal Scientific Reports demonstrated the feasibility of using carbonized nickel (Ni)-doped zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIF)-67/ZIF-8-derived nanostructure ...

When it comes to catalytic activity, more isn’t always better. Overly active catalysts may be hard to control; finding the sweet spot can be tricky. That job may be easier now thanks to a study ...

video: UJ researchers take a novel step to change hydrogenation into a safe, low energy process. They use a very stable three phase emulsion to transform a toxic waste product into valuable feedstock.

A catalyst that helps convert alkynes into alkenes could offer a more efficient and greener way to achieve the tricky industrial transformation (ACS Catal. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.4c00310). The ...

The In₂O₃ catalyst prepared via precipitation undergoes an important structural evolution during CO₂ hydrogenation. Initial activation involves nanoparticle sintering and formation of oxygen vacancies ...

Acetylene impurities in commercial ethylene streams are removed by selective hydrogenation over palladium/Al2O3 catalysts. This process produces economically undesirable side products such as ethane ...

Ever had that daydream of using sunlight to split hydrogen molecules at room temperature? Well, the clever folks at the ...

Sunlight can be used to produce green hydrogen directly from water in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells. So far, most systems based on this 'direct approach' have not been energetically competitive.

Wilkinson’s catalyst, formally chloridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) [RhCl(PPh 3) 3], is a coordination complex that catalyzes a wide range of organic ...
