Cracking carbon bonds is a notoriously difficult problem, but it may hold the key to generating greener, more sustainable chemicals. A Chinese research team achieved the first visible-light-promoted ...

Clean energy plans, including the U.S. Infrastructure Investment Act’s “Clean Hydrogen Road Map,” are counting on hydrogen as a fuel of the future. But current hydrogen separation technology is still ...

Hydrogen is an alternative source of energy that can be produced from renewable sources of sunlight and water. A group of researchers has developed a photocatalyst that increases hydrogen production ...

Decarbonizing has become a prioritized mission in many countries and the science community is working on the 'carbon capture' technologies. If the captured carbon dioxide could be converted into ...

"Our smart photocatalyst functions as a traffic guide who opens one specific pathway in response to light of specific color," says Yevheniia Markushyna, researcher at the Max Planck Institut for ...

Rare sugars such as D-tagatose and D-allose are in demand as both chemical feedstocks and building blocks in the pharmaceutical industry. But they’re called rare because they don’t occur commonly in ...

A new photocatalyst that combines sunlight and a common water-treatment oxidant can rapidly strip dangerous organic matter from water, offering a promising tool for safer drinking water and cleaner ...

A comprehensive look at doping photocatalysts in water splitting under visible light is presented. Doping to regulate the band structure of Bi-based composite oxides achieves overall water splitting.

Using an X-ray laser, the method revealed atomic motions in a simple catalyst, opening the door to study more complex molecules key to chemical processes in industry and nature. (Nanowerk News) ...
