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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Demand for cobalt will rise faster than supply, allowing the market to reduce the 2024 surplus in coming years and swing to a deficit in the early 2030s, the Cobalt Institute said in a research on ...

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 ...
