In chemical processes for producing pharmaceuticals, catalysts are a core technology that determines production speed and ...

Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many ...

For the first time, chemists at the University of Bonn and Lehigh University in the U.S. have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...

Some people have streets named after them. Warren Piers, a chemistry professor at the University of Calgary, has a catalyst penned after him. And in a new paper, Piers reveals the inner workings of ...

As the chemical industry looks to cut emissions, reduce toxic waste, and decarbonize its core processes, one area under close watch is catalysis. Catalysts are the unsung heroes of industrial ...

Alternatives to expensive palladium catalysts are gaining acceptance for commercial API synthesis. Cross-coupling reactions enable the synthesis of complex building blocks and intermediates with ...

Platinum, one of the rarest and most expensive metals on Earth, may soon find itself out of a job. Known for its allure in engagement rings, platinum is also treasured for its ability to jump-start ...

Catalysis: They are essential in catalysis, particularly in processes like hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerisation. For example, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are organometallic compounds ...

For the first time, chemists have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to the ruthenium and ...
