A team led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has invented a technique to study electrochemical processes at the atomic level with unprecedented resolution and used it to gain new ...

Electrocatalysis is a key technology for sustainable energy, and understanding how catalysts work is crucial for improving their performance. One of the challenges in using platinum (Pt) as a catalyst ...

A team of scientists has directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from ...

High-resolution electron microscopy images of the catalyst captured at the CFN. Frame A shows the catalyst with a scale bar representing 20 nanometers (nm) after three consecutive reaction cycles; B ...

Researchers have developed a self-driving chemistry lab that can autonomously search through hundreds of catalyst recipes and reaction conditions to identify faster, more selective and more ...

The catalyst was also successfully applied to real lignin samples from different biomass sources, converting them into useful aromatic compounds that could serve as building blocks for fuels, plastics ...

Lithium–sulfur batteries could store substantially more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries while relying on sulfur, an abundant and relatively inexpensive material. Yet major chemical ...

Scientists developed a new fabrication technique to fine-tune a platinum catalyst on an atomic level. To demonstrate the technique’s effectiveness, the research team showed that the catalyst could ...

A Northwestern University-led international team of scientists has, for the first time, directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and ...
