A research team reports they have created an organic reaction called α-allylation with simple ketones and allyl alcohols.

Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many ...

In chemical processes for producing pharmaceuticals, catalysts are a core technology that determines production speed and ...

The field of catalysis, particularly in oxidation reactions, occupies a central role in modern chemistry and industrial processes. These reactions underpin energy conversion, environmental remediation ...

Chemists say they’ve found a way to turn breadcrumbs into hydrogen, potentially offering a sustainable alternative to one of ...

A new study shows that adapting sulfur chemistry in sodium-sulfur batteries via MoS2 nanosheets improves efficiency and longevity.

The discipline of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) seeks to control and understand the networks of reactions that occur in ‘reactors’ ranging from cellular compartments up to world-scale ...

Pairing two catalysts in a single, illuminated reaction flask proves to be a light-bulb moment for organic synthesis. The light from a standard electric light bulb is the key to a simple, green ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a cutting-edge catalyst that turns CO2 into methanol more efficiently than ever before. Instead of ...

For the first time, chemists have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to the ruthenium and ...

The enzymes responsible for catalytic reactions in our body's biological reactions are difficult to use for diagnosis or treatment as they react only to certain molecules or have low stability. Many ...
