Heterogeneous catalysts speed up chemical reactions by being in a different state than the reactants. They are efficient and stable, even under challenging conditions such as high temperature or ...

The production of more than 90 percent of all chemical products we use in our everyday lives relies on catalysts. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions, can reduce the energy required for these ...

Photocatalysis is the use of light to accelerate the rate of a reaction in the presence of a photocatalyst. The catalyst plays a crucial role in this process—it absorbs the light being shined onto it ...

As the chemical industry looks to cut emissions, reduce toxic waste, and decarbonize its core processes, one area under close watch is catalysis. Catalysts are the unsung heroes of industrial ...

Catalysts are the keys to speeding up sluggish reactions that require large amounts of energy. Therefore, analyzing which types of catalysts speed up reactions the most and what their underlying ...

Researchers are developing exascale software tools to enable the design of new chemicals and chemical processes for clean energy production. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National ...
