The process of catalysis—in which a material speeds up a chemical reaction—is crucial to the production of many of the chemicals used in our everyday lives. But even though these catalytic processes ...

A new type of catalyst that uses five times less platinum than usual could help make hydrogen production more affordable in the future. Hydrogen generated by splitting water molecules with electricity ...

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered that the size of catalytic nanoparticles determines how their shape and structure transform during ...
