The Co-Pi catalyst acts like—and is structurally similar to—the oxygen-evolving (or water-splitting) complex (OEC), the enzyme used in photosynthesis to break down water.

The catalyst has solely tetrahedral cobalt sites and none of the unstable cobalt species, achieving a propylene productivity as high as 9.7 kg C3 = kg cat –1 h –1, surpassing that of an ...

Nickel-cobalt catalyst. Turquoise hydrogen is produced by thermally decomposing methane (CH₄) into hydrogen and solid carbon ...

Catalyst for electronically controlled C--H functionalization Date: December 7, 2023 Source: Princeton University Summary: Scientists chipping away at one of the great challenges of metal ...

Chemical engineers at MIT have designed a cobalt catalyst that transforms polymers into propane selectively and efficiently (JACS Au, 2022, DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.2c00402). This method could provide ...

When sunlight hits the material, electric charges are generated, which are then used to split water into pure hydrogen and ...

By using the cobalt-based catalyst prepared by our method, one could remove the main bottleneck of cost to producing clean hydrogen in an electrolyzer. Di-Jia Liu, senior chemist at Argonne A ...

Cobalt-Copper Tandem Successfully Converts Carbon Dioxide to Ethanol A new process for removing CO 2 from the environment has been facilitated by a cobalt-copper catalyst. 2 from the environment has ...

Domestic researchers have developed a non-precious metal 'cobalt-iron (CoFe)' based ammonia decomposition catalyst. This technology can replace existing precious metal catalysts and addresses the ...

In 2021 SafeWork New South Wales took Orica to the District Court after two workers were exposed to the dust in a cobalt catalyst manufacturing shed at its Kooragang Island plant.

A catalyst that achieves 100 percent selectivity would be desirable so that no other substances, apart from ethanol alone, would remain on completion of the process. Cooperation within the ...
