The process of catalysis—in which a material speeds up a chemical reaction—is crucial to the production of many of the chemicals used in our everyday lives. But even though these catalytic processes ...

In synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry, epoxides are very important because they provide multiple functional groups containing building blocks 1,2. The nucleophilic ring opening of ...

A new type of catalyst—a material that speeds up chemical reactions—that could make the production of clean hydrogen fuel more efficient and long-lasting has been developed by a team led by City ...

Over the past three decades, chiral phase-transfer catalysts (PTCs) have emerged as highly successful organocatalysts in a diverse range of asymmetric reactions. A substantial number of chiral PTCs ...

Oxygen evolution is considered one of the most energy-intensive steps in water electrolysis and is therefore a key factor for more efficient green hydrogen production. Modeling of the reaction ...

A South Korean research team has discovered a high-performance catalyst for green hydrogen production by combining data from two different types of catalyst material groups using artificial ...
