A team of chemists has demonstrated a way to form sulfur-sulfur bonds at room temperature without any external catalyst, ...

A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction.

The synthesis of methanol from carbon dioxide can be dramatically improved by switching the catalyst support from zirconia to ...

Every chemical reaction faces a barrier: For substances to react with one another, it is first necessary to supply energy. In ...

Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

A carefully engineered gold catalyst has just pushed green chemistry into new territory, setting a performance benchmark that had resisted improvement for a decade. By pairing tiny deposits of gold ...

How do you keep a copper catalyst from losing its oomph? Just add a dusting of platinum, says a new study published in Nature Materials. A team of researchers, including scientists at the Department ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a groundbreaking air-stable ruthenium catalyst. The new catalyst maintains high reactivity while eliminating the need for specialized ...

Green synthesis and catalysis in organic chemistry represent a pivotal shift towards sustainable laboratory practices by minimising the use of hazardous reagents and reducing waste generation. This ...
