Researchers tested a strategy for developing single-atom catalysts that may help us develop more efficient methods for water purification. All humans need clean water to live. However, purifying water ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have developed an "anchoring-borrowing" strategy, combined with facet engineering, to develop a new class of artful single-atom catalysts (ASACs). These ...

This paper reviews the structure and principle of semiconductor-based gas sensors, the synthesis methods of single atom catalysts, the mechanisms by which single atom catalysts enhance gas sensitivity ...

A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction.

Single-atom catalysts are at the cutting edge of catalysis research, offering a blend of high efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability. Single-atom catalysts are defined by their structure where ...

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 ...

This work was conducted in collaboration with researchers at Peking University and Nanjing Normal University, China. Prof Wu said, "Our protocol aligns with most of the 12 principles of green ...
