Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many ...

The nanostructure of the heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst was clarified on the basis of cutting-edge analytical techniques. Scientists from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology ...

The employment of readily available alcohols as building blocks in C–C coupling reactions has received great research interest. In particular, the deoxygenative homocoupling of benzyl alcohols is ...

Heterogeneous catalysis enables faster, large-scale production and selective product formation. Approximately 35% of the world's GDP is influenced by catalysis. The production of 90% of chemicals (by ...

Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions or allow them to occur at lower temperatures or pressures. 1 When catalysts are used to control and enhance reactions, the process is called ...

The process of catalysis—in which a material speeds up a chemical reaction—is crucial to the production of many of the chemicals used in our everyday lives. But even though these catalytic processes ...

Turning carbon dioxide into useful chemicals is a key strategy for building closed-loop systems, a key step in mitigating ...

As part of our laboratory's research initiatives, we are conducting advanced research on the computational modeling and optimization of heterogeneous catalysts for various catalytic processes. This ...

A Northwestern University-led international team of scientists has, for the first time, directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and ...
