Developing durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts for acidic media is vital for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE). This study reveals that the stability of ...

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 ...

If you ever wanted to name a single technology that transformed society while remaining nearly invisible, catalysts would be an excellent answer. Transforming one stable compound (say, nitrogen gas) ...

(Nanowerk News) A new way of anchoring individual iridium atoms to the surface of a catalyst increased its efficiency in splitting water molecules to record levels, scientists from the Department of ...

For atoms, bonding involves a give, take and sharing of electrons. For more than 100 years, scientists thought that eight electrons was the limit of a single atom’s generosity. But now it’s nine. By ...

Scientists have found a new way to work with heterogeneous catalysts, which are key chemical drivers in the development of energy technology and the production of industrial chemicals. The new ...

Researchers has synthesized a new material that stores an unusually large amount of hydrogen. Performing high-pressure X-ray studies, the scientists detected the formation of previously unobserved ...

Figure 1: Sequentially taken STEM Z-contrast images and intensity surface plot of a rhodium–iridium cluster. It is important to note that the surface of the support having atoms with low atomic ...
