Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen gas. This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen ...

(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 ...

Nebraska's Xiao Cheng Zeng and colleagues have identified several overlooked factors critical to the performance of single-atom catalysts: individual atoms, usually metallic and anchored by ...

Important everyday products—from plastics to detergents—are made through chemical reactions that mostly use precious metals such as platinum as catalysts. Scientists have been searching for more ...

Scientists have discovered a metal-free carbon-based catalyst that has the potential to be much less expensive and more efficient for many industrial concerns, including manufacturing of bio- and ...

Researchers from the University of Manchester have made a significant breakthrough in terms of catalyst technology. They have developed a new catalyst that has been shown to have a wide variety of ...
