(Nanowerk News) The production of more than 90 percent of all chemical products we use in our everyday lives relies on catalysts. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions, can reduce the energy required ...

A study explores a high-entropy alloy of Au, Ag, Cu, Pd, and Pt, evaluating its potential use in mid-infrared metasurfaces for optical applications. High-entropy alloys, as the name implies, are ...

Noble metals, such as gold and platinum, show great potential in renewable energy. Very tiny pieces of noble metals, known as nanoparticles, can increase the rate of a chemical reaction within ...

HELSINKI, FINLAND, May 16, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Waste computers and cell phones, solar panels, and other electronic waste are becoming an important source of ...

Researchers found a strategy to create catalysts that make the production of hydrogen for clean fuel more efficient and affordable. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a remarkable process that ...

Dr. Johannes Fessler of the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis in Rostock has created novel techniques for manufacturing pharmacological precursors employing iron, manganese, and cobalt catalysts. These ...

Noble-metal catalysts are used in many processes in the chemical industry. A reduction of the amount of noble metal required for their production is an important contribution to a sustainable resource ...

The bottom part of the image schematically shows the atomic-level alloying of the HEA, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. A recent study published in Engineering has delved into the ...
