Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus “sinks.” A critical nutrient for life, most phosphorus in the soil is organic — ...

As the world shifts toward sustainable energy sources, "green hydrogen"—hydrogen produced without emitting carbon—has emerged as a leading candidate for clean power. In a significant step forward, a ...

Chemists have developed a new iron-nickel oxide catalyst for water splitting, the reaction that produces hydrogen fuel. The patent-pending catalyst shows significantly higher activity in the ...

A team of Korean researchers has developed a catalyst using inexpensive materials to convert harmful substances in exhaust from cars and factories into harmless ones. A team led by Professor Kim Young ...

PRECIOUS METALS currently are the basis of catalysts that are well understood by chemists and widely used in labs, industrial processes, and automobile catalytic converters. But the metals—such as ...

Collaborators at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and U.S. universities used neutron scattering and other advanced characterization techniques to study how a prominent catalyst ...

Hydrogen carries substantial energy. Extensive efforts to isolate from water this promising source of clean fuel have led to electrochemical approaches, such as water electrolysis and light-driven ...

A research team has visualized the three-dimensional structure of the surface of catalyst nanoparticles at atomic resolution. This structure plays a decisive role in the activity and stability of the ...
