Relay catalysis connects multiple catalytic reactions so that the product of one step becomes the reactant of the next. This approach can improve efficiency, increase selectivity, and reduce energy ...

Researchers demonstrate a chemical reaction produced through an intermediary created by a separate chemical reaction, findings that could impact environmental remediation and fuel production. A ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Back in the early 1800's it was observed that certain chemicals can speed up a chemical reaction – a process that became known as catalysis and that has become the foundation of ...

Most of the drugs, plastics, and industrial materials widely used today are produced through chemical reactions. In general, most high-performance and sophisticated substances have complex structures, ...

Researchers have created an iron catalyst that can facilitate important chemical reactions in place of the current catalyst, which is made from precious metals. A catalyst is a key ingredient for many ...

The study is led by Ligang Feng (School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Yangzhou University). The rapid development of the economy driven by the large consummation of traditional fossil fuels ...
