Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

Catalysis is a fundamental process in chemical science whereby a catalyst accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. By providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower ...

Join us online in February 2021 for this addition to our Faraday Discussion series. For over 100 years and 300 meetings, Faraday Discussions have been the forefront of physical chemistry. Many of ...

Scientists have developed a novel Cr-based single-atom catalyst that enables highly efficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) ...

Japanese scientists unveil a catalyst that turns CO₂ into liquid methanol at room temperature with 100% efficiency.

Researchers developed advanced catalysts that efficiently remove nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide through simultaneous reactions, offering a stable and scalable clean air solution. The research ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully traced the mechanism behind how an industrially important ...

A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction but it is not used up in the reaction. If a catalyst is present, the reacting particles can collide more successfully with less energy and so the reaction ...

The rate of a reaction can be increased by adding a suitable catalyst. A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a chemical reaction but it is not used up (remains chemically unchanged at ...
