Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen gas. This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen ...

The additive–catalyst interactions reveal two deactivation mechanisms, and additive-resilient ... Hydrogenation and oxidation, common reactions in organic synthesis, usually require hydrogen ...

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 ...

While hydrogen production technologies are gaining attraction for a sustainable energy transition, traditional water ...

Only a very small mass of catalyst is needed to increase the rate of a reaction. However, not all reactions have suitable catalysts. Different substances catalyse different reactions.

Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental processes of life. Without them, neither cellular respiration nor ...

Available catalysts can be homogeneous, which means that they possess the same phase as the reactants and products, making ...

Catalysts, often considered the unsung heroes of chemistry, are instrumental in accelerating chemical reactions, and play a crucial role in the creation of most manufactured products. For example, the ...

We present a one-step, visible light-induced synthesis of bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane-ketone, a bioisostere for benzoyl groups that ...
