Researchers from Skoltech have uncovered physical principles governing the remote "tuning" of nanocatalysts, where the ...

Simulated ORR activities of Pt(111) and Pt1Ni1@Pt(111) based on pH-dependent microkinetic modeling and validation of synthesized Pt1Ni1/C: Quantitative microkinetic model predicted that the Pt1Ni1@Pt ...

UPTON, NY--Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of Arkansas have developed a highly efficient catalyst for extracting electrical energy ...

We demonstrate the core–shell structure of the catalyst and clarify the mechanistic origin of its activity. The platinum-rich shell exhibits compressive strain, which results in a shift of the ...

Scientists have developed a new iron-based catalyst that improves the typically low hydrogen atom economy (HAE) in the direct synthesis of olefins—small hydrocarbon molecules. It converts the water ...

New research has reported the conjugated dual-size effect of core-shell bimetallic nanocatalysts for the first time, where the activity of the catalysts increases with the core size in the benzyl ...

Scientists have developed a highly efficient catalyst for extracting electrical energy from ethanol, an easy-to-store liquid fuel that can be generated from renewable resources. Scientists at the U.S.
