Chemical engineers designed a catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers, which could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide ...

A research team has developed a breakthrough technology that dramatically improves the durability of alloy catalysts, a critical component in fuel cells. By incorporating nitrogen into the alloy ...

With an improved catalyst, ORNL chemists converted two greenhouse gases, methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), to syngas, a valuable mix of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). Credit: Philip ...

A new synthesis method has drastically improved the performance of the photocatalyst KGF-9, boosting its CO2-to-formate conversion efficiency nearly tenfold. The method enhances KGF-9’s crystallinity ...

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction by the addition of a reagent — the catalyst — that is not itself consumed. The catalyst works by opening up a route between ...

Heterogeneous catalysis is a type of catalysis in which the catalyst occupies a different phase from the reactants and products. This may refer to the physical phase — solid, liquid or gas ...
