source:phys.orgThe synthesis of molybdenum carbide catalysts typically requires high temperature, leading to inevitable passivation in an oxygen-containing atmosphere. Developing a new route to produce molybdenum carbide at low temperatures is challenging but essential to increase the density of surface active sites.In a recent study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, a research group led by Prof. BAO Xinhe and Prof. FU Qiang from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed an in-situ dynamic carbonization method to synt...

source:TOHOKU UNIVERSITYThe unsung heroes of electrochemical reactions - electrocatalysts - can assist in optimizing factors such as the reaction's speed, yield, and energy consumption. As such, these electrocatalysts are crucial for optimizing large-scale production in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and petrochemical industries. Researchers at Tohoku University and Nanjing Normal University conducted a deep dive on the performance of an emerging category of electrocatalysts: cobalt oxides (henceforth referred to as Co X-ides).The research team sought to use Co X-ides for the electrocatalyt...

source: Oak Ridge National LaboratoryConceptual art shown here depicts a ligand adapting to its environment. ORNL scientists have discovered a compound that shifts its preference for binding to specific rare-earth metals depending on surrounding conditions, like a chameleon changes its colors. Credit: Adam Malin/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of EnergyResearchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a chemical "chameleon" that could improve the process used to purify rare-earth metals used in clean energy, medical and national security applications.The study, ...
