Researchers have developed a self-driving chemistry lab that can autonomously search through hundreds of catalyst recipes and ...

A team from Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University has developed a novel approach for a catalyst that combines the advantages of the two most commonly used catalysis methods. The new ...

Transition metal-based homogeneous catalysts and their associated complexing ligands play a major role in many widespread chemical processes such as hydrogenations, carbonylations, oxidations and ...

A catalyst developed at LIKAT in Rostock opens up new avenues in the synthesis of fine chemicals for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and household chemicals, for example. Its effect is based on ...

Accelerating catalyst discovery and development is of paramount importance in addressing the global energy, sustainability and healthcare demands. The past decade has witnessed significant momentum in ...

In catalysis research, investigators need to carefully control the environment that catalytic materials are exposed to so that they are not poisoned or catalyze undesired side reactions. Here, ...
