The aim of this Perspective is to present a methodological framework with which to develop a deeper molecular-level understanding of atomically dispersed catalysts. The fundamental concepts that ...

Recent research has demonstrated that a rhodium (Rh) cluster of an optimal, intermediate size—neither too small nor too large—exhibits the highest catalytic activity in hydroformylation reactions.

Heterogeneous catalysts underpin many industrial processes, from petrochemical refining to environmental remediation and sustainable energy conversion. The synthesis of these catalysts centres on ...

A catalyst developed at LIKAT in Rostock opens up new avenues in the synthesis of fine chemicals for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and household chemicals, for example. Its effect is based on ...

The CO 2-assisted dehydrogenation of light alkanes not only enables the production of basic chemicals like light olefins but also promotes the resource utilization of CO 2, co-producing feedstocks ...

Artificial intelligence tools are transforming catalyst research, with new AI agents capable of completing in minutes what ...

Researchers have developed a solar-driven catalyst material that harnesses the energy of a single photon to reduce carbon dioxide and oxidize organic waste at the same time, producing valuable ...
