Researchers have reported a nanocatalyst that is able to produce hydrogen isotope compounds D2 and HD via the heterogeneous dehydrogenation of formic acid in the presence of heavy water. Amine groups ...

A fast and accurate surrogate model screens over 10,000 possible metal-oxide supports for a platinum nanocatalyst to prevent sintering under high temperatures. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

A fuel cell is an electric power generator that is capable of producing electricity from hydrogen gas while discharging only water as a waste product. It is hoped that this highly efficient clean ...

Producing hydrogen through proton exchange membrane water electrolysis is a vital step toward cleaner energy. The challenge is that many low-cost catalysts lose efficiency or degrade in acidic ...

A fast and accurate surrogate model screens over 10,000 possible metal-oxide supports for a platinum nanocatalyst to prevent sintering under high temperatures. “As particles grow in size, they hide ...

A new nanoparticle-based, tungsten oxide catalyst should help oil refineries make higher-octane gasoline through a production process that is more efficient and better for the environment. A ...

Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy without being consumed, increasing reaction rates, improving selectivity, and reducing energy consumption. Building on these ...

Researchers have explained why platinum nanoclusters of a specific size range facilitate the hydrogenation reaction used to produce ethane from ethylene.

Osaka, Japan - Hydrogen occurs in nature as H 2 molecules; however when deuterium isotopes—so called "heavy hydrogen"—are introduced, the result can be deuterium hydride (HD) or deuterium gas (D 2).
