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 ...

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 ...

Single-atom catalysts are at the cutting edge of catalysis research, offering a blend of high efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability. Single-atom catalysts are defined by their structure where ...

A collaborative effort between researchers at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) and the University of California, Davis has resulted in the development of a novel methodology for ...

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 ...

Conventional thinking holds that the metal site in single atom catalysts (SACs) has been a limiting factor to the continued improvement of the design and, therefore, the continued improvement of the ...

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 ...

Researchers proposed a completely novel strategy to apply an external magnetic field to modulate spin states, and thereby improve electrocatalytic performance. (Nanowerk News) The job of a catalyst is ...

In catalysis research, investigators need to carefully control the environment that catalytic materials are exposed to so that they are not poisoned or catalyze undesired side reactions. Here, ...
