Discovering How Platinum Catalysts Work

February 16, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University (SBU), and other collaborating institutions’ scientists have uncovered dynamic, atomic-level details of how an important platinum-based catalyst works in the water gas shift reaction. The experiments provide definitive evidence that only certain platinum atoms play an important role in the chemical conversion, and could therefore guide the design of […]

Make Hydrogen While You Drive

September 29, 2010 | 6 Comments

Some press releases go pretty far. One hopes the scientists proofread the text before it gets out.  The University of Wisconsin says in its release about a low cost, low temperature hydrogen catalyst for purification, “Engineering researchers from Tufts University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Harvard University have demonstrated the low-temperature efficacy of an atomically […]
