A new type of catalyst that uses five times less platinum than usual could help make hydrogen production more affordable in ...

An international research team led by Professor Philip C.Y. Chow at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has unveiled a new catalyst that overcomes a major challenge in producing green hydrogen at scale.

Chinese researchers have developed a new catalyst that could make hydrogen production cheaper and more efficient by reducing the amount of platinum needed. Hydrogen is often promoted as a clean energy ...

A Rice University-led team has unveiled how tiny molecular structures on industrial catalysts behave during the manufacture of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), a core ingredient in adhesives, paints, ...

Researchers created a new catalyst that transforms hydrocarbons into chemicals and materials that are higher value, easier to recycle, and biodegrade in the environment. This catalyst transforms ...

A new method to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into ethylene using significantly less energy than existing approaches could help cut emissions from one of the world’s most carbon-intensive manufacturing ...

Better catalysts and greener hydrogen are among the targets of clean and low-carbon technologies being developed in a collaboration between Chinese researchers and industry. The extraction and use of ...
