The synchrotron’s high-precision beam allowed them to quantify structural disorder, porosity, pore curvature and the ...

Iron-nitrogen-carbon catalysts have the potential to replace the more expensive platinum catalysts currently used in fuel ...

Researchers have created a form of platinum that can remain liquid at room temperature, by mixing tiny amounts of the precious metal with gallium. This new liquid platinum performs catalytic reactions ...

Research published in Nature Communications reports new information identifying the specific roles that platinum nanoparticles play in catalysts that convert carbon monoxide and water into carbon ...

Platinum is a useful as a catalyst for industrial chemistry. UC Davis researchers have developed a new technique to trap clusters of a few platinum atoms (white arrow on right) in nanometer-scale ...

When it comes to metal catalysts, the platinum standard is, well, platinum! However, at about $2,000 an ounce, platinum is more expensive than gold. The high cost of the raw material presents major ...

Platinum is essential for promoting reactions in these fuel cells. However, the precious metal is rare and expensive. Interactions between platinum-cobalt particles and a precious metal-free support ...

The valuable metal platinum is the main catalyst for the chemical reactions occurring at the heart of the next generation of highly small and high-performing hydrogen fuel cells. Highly ordered Pt 3 ...

A domestic technology for producing fuel cell catalysts using carbon monoxide has been developed. The Korea Institute of ...

Platinum is an important catalyst. But up until now, nobody know how exactly single platinum atoms behave during catalysis. Platinum is an important catalyst. But up until now, nobody know how exactly ...

A new technique to trap clusters of platinum atoms in nanoscale islands could lead to more efficient catalysts for the chemical industry. Noble metals such as platinum can make useful catalysts to ...
