Can the shape of a crystal really change how well it performs in clean energy technology? A new study says yes—decisively.

A major drawback is the cost of production, dominated by the quantity of an expensive platinum catalyst required for the oxygen reduction reaction. Recent research indicates promising replacement ...

This research offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to noble metal-based catalysts, addressing the critical need ...

converting CO2 into oxygen and glucose. The process depends on hydrogen atoms acting as mediating agents. For years, scientists have struggled to replicate this reaction artificially under ...

In this reaction, carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen. At the same time, copper oxide is reduced because oxygen is removed from it.

The strategy here is to control the extent of the oxygen reduction reaction. If you don’t control it at some level, it will ...

Oxygen electrocatalytic reactions involve substantial multi-electron transfer processes and competitive interactions among various intermediate adsorbates, leading to slow reaction kinetics and high ...

The direct reaction of triplet oxygen with a singlet organic molecule ... electron transfer to dioxygen (in contrast to its overall reduction to water) is thermodynamically unfavorable, reduced ...

By tailoring crystal shape, researchers boost oxygen reduction performance, paving the way for cost-effective fuel cell ...
