The rapid accumulation of plastic waste is currently posing significant risks for both human health and the environment on ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have developed an “anchoring-borrowing” strategy, combined with facet engineering, to develop a new class of artful single-atom catalysts (ASACs). These ...

Single-atom catalysis—using isolated metal atoms dispersed on a solid as a catalyst—has grown into a field of research dedicated to the development of efficient chemical, thermo-, electro- and ...

A team in Milan has developed a first-of-its-kind single-atom catalyst that acts like a molecular switch, enabling cleaner, more adaptable chemical reactions. Stable, recyclable, and eco-friendly, it ...

Traditional catalysts often waste material because only surface atoms participate in reactions, while the bulk material goes untouched. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) overcome this inefficiency by ...

A collaborative effort between researchers at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) and the University of California, Davis has resulted in the development of a novel methodology for ...

Scientists have developed a new platform for single-atom catalysis. The system isolates metal atoms on carefully designed polymer chains. It aims to boost efficiency and selectivity in chemical ...
