In a study appearing in Nature Catalysis, researchers from the Inorganic Chemistry Department of the Fritz Haber Institute ...

Cobalt nanoparticle-decorated carbon materials are hybrid catalysts that combine the catalytic activity of cobalt with the structure and conductivity of carbon supports. These materials offer improved ...

Conventional catalysts for hydrogen production via water electrolysis usually contain precious metals and are expensive. However, cheaper alternatives have been developed -- for example, ...

For years, proponents of the hydrogen economy have argued that hydrogen will replace traditional hydrocarbon fuels for transportation purposes. But, so far, a lack of new, inexpensive methods for ...

Monash University researchers have developed a cobalt-iron catalyst that significantly improves the performance and enhances the lifespan of zinc-air batteries, achieving remarkable stability over ...

(Nanowerk News) Controlling the crystal phase of cobalt nanoparticles leads to exceptional catalytic performance in hydrogenation processes, report scientists from Tokyo Tech. Produced via an ...

The researchers showed a premagnetized carbon-cobalt catalyst interface could deliver up to 650% enhancement in electrocatalytic kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction. The synergistic interface was ...

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction while undergoing no permanent change at the end of the reaction. In order to understand the performance of catalysts, it is important to ...

Five years ago, the idea that a single atom on a solid surface could catalyze a reaction seemed outlandish to many scientists. They reasoned that if isolated atoms could be supported on a solid—a big ...
