Researchers have created a cutting-edge catalyst that turns CO2 into methanol more efficiently than ever before. Instead of using clumps of metal atoms, they engineered a system where each single ...

Technologies that convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted from factories and power plants into useful chemical feedstocks are considered key to achieving carbon neutrality. However, rapid degradation of ...

A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction.

A novel catalysis scheme enables chemical reactions that were previously virtually impossible. The method is also environmentally friendly and does not require rare and precious metals. The ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way scientists discover and design new materials. In a specially invited review published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Tohoku University ...

A research team has developed a new strategy to improve catalysts used to remove nitrogen oxides from industrial emissions. By using ethanol during catalyst preparation, the scientists significantly ...

Biochar can help turn agricultural waste into clean hydrogen fuel while cutting carbon pollution, according to a new study in the journal Biochar. Researchers report that a simple two stage catalytic ...

Northwestern University chemists have developed a groundbreaking process that could simplify one of the world’s toughest environmental challenges: plastic recycling. Their new method skips the ...
