Solar-power photocatalysis—turning sunlight into energy—holds promise for sustainable and cost-efficient energy and chemical ...

Researchers directly observed tetroxides for the first time, showing they exist in normal air conditions and play key roles ...

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

The Fenton reaction is a chemical transition involving hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and the ferrous (iron) ion, which acts as a catalyst. This process is used to destroy hazardous contaminants in ...

Scientists have made an advancement in the field of electrocatalysis. Their latest research sheds light on how catalysts can stay in unanticipated forms during the process of nitrate reduction. The ...

Toward the right side of the periodic table below oxygen you'll find the chalcogens, or "ore-forming" elements. The ...

Researchers have developed electrochemical methods that break down waste PET plastic, the material in most disposable water ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...
