However, the selective oxidation of light alkanes remains a significant challenge. To date, scientists have explored various types of catalysts for this task. Although some offer decent ...

This reaction proceeds very slowly at room temperature. The addition of cobalt chloride as a catalyst produces a green cobalt-tartrate intermediate and copious evolution of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

A study appearing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences introduces a trimetallic catalyst—including nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) nanoparticles supported on defective ceria ...
