A New Idea On Catalysts Should Improve Performance

April 26, 2018 | Leave a Comment

Brown University researchers have developed a new theory to explain why stretching or compressing metal catalysts can make them perform better. The theory, described in the journal Nature Catalysis, could open new design possibilities for new catalysts with new capabilities. Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions. The vast majority of industrial catalysis involves […]

CO2 Back to Fuel and More

December 8, 2010 | 4 Comments

Liviu M. Mirica, PhD, assistant professor of chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis may have found and is developing a novel metal catalyst that would be able to turn greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide into liquid fuels without producing more carbon waste in the process. Mirica describes a new metal complex that […]
