Fe-N 4 is a typical active site in Fe-N/C catalysts with maximum atomic utilization and a well-defined structure. However, its high symmetry limits further electronic structure optimization and ...

A research team at the Politecnico di Milano has developed an innovative single-atom catalyst capable of selectively adapting its chemical activity. This is a crucial step forward in sustainable ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have developed an “anchoring-borrowing” strategy, combined with facet engineering, to develop a new class of artful single-atom catalysts (ASACs). These ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

A recent article in Nature Nanotechnology introduced a novel approach to enhance iridium catalyst performance by coordinating iridium single atoms (Ir 1) with cobalt–iron hydroxides (Co,Fe)-OH and ...

According to a study published in Nature Communications, a research team led by Associate Professor Jiong Lu from the Department of Chemistry at the National University of Singapore devised an ...

A team in Milan has developed a first-of-its-kind single-atom catalyst that acts like a molecular switch, enabling cleaner, more adaptable chemical reactions. Stable, recyclable, and eco-friendly, it ...

Traditional catalysts often waste material because only surface atoms participate in reactions, while the bulk material goes untouched. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) overcome this inefficiency by ...

The rapid accumulation of plastic waste is currently posing significant risks for both human health and the environment on ...

A research team has unveiled a breakthrough in improving the performance of zinc-air batteries (ZABs), which are an important energy storage technology. This breakthrough involves a new catalyst that ...
