A blue-light-powered iron catalyst just replaced rare metals — and unlocked a milestone in precision drug synthesis.

Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic ...

Researchers at Nagoya University have created a more efficient iron-based photocatalyst that could reduce the need for rare and expensive metals in advanced chemistry. Unlike earlier designs, the new ...

A catalyst is a key ingredient for many chemical reactions. It facilitates a molecule to change into another molecule, without being changed itself, meaning it can be used multiple times. However, ...

Nagoya University scientists have created an iron-based photocatalyst that uses blue LEDs to synthesize medicinal compounds ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – For decades, scientists have been searching for a catalyst that dramatically reduces the cost of fabricating hydrogen fuel cells. Such an advancement could lead to a green power ...

The catalysts generate abundant hydroxyl radicals (•OH) without requiring added chemical oxidants, enabling the breakdown of the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) with up to 94.6% removal efficiency.

Researchers develop an AI-based platform that integrates reaction data with catalyst performance for the design of new catalysts. (Nanowerk News) CatDRX is a generative AI framework developed at ...

Researchers have created an iron catalyst that can facilitate important chemical reactions in place of the current catalyst, which is made from precious metals. A catalyst is a key ingredient for many ...
