Surfaces are special states of matter. New experiments show that the non-ideal behaviour of nanoclusters on the surface of a catalyst strongly affects their tendency to form larger clusters, and ...

Catalyst deactivation is mainly caused by catalyst sintering, and causes billions of dollars of extra expenditure on catalyst regeneration. Gaining insights into the sintering kinetics and mechanisms ...

In the study, which was published July 15 in the ACS journal Nano Letters, the researchers described a possible new way to solve one of the key causes of degradation of platinum catalysts, sintering, ...

WHOEVER SAID, "It's difficult to make predictions, especially about the future," probably wasn't referring to Fischer-Tropsch (FT) chemistry. But the adage is apt just the same. The economics of ...

For plastics manufacturing, petroleum refining, food and biofuel production and numerous other core chemical manufacturing processes, heterogeneous catalysts are crucial. Thermal degradation or ...

For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics and a two-dimensional material, opening the door for new designs of nanocomposites with such applications as solid-state ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – A byproduct of landfilling, livestock farming, coal mining and other human activities, methane emissions are one of the key drivers of climate change. Yet for decades scientists have ...

A team at the University of Science and Technology of China developed a new catalyst that requires small amounts of platinum and produces high catalytic activity for fuel cell commercialization.

• A novel platinum-alumina catalyst that allows removal by oxidation of harmful volatile organic compounds present in factory exhaust gases has been developed. • The reaction temperature is 100 ºC ...
