Single-atom catalysts revolutionize water purification: efficient and selective generation of reactive oxygen species for global water challenges. Researchers detail how downsizing active sites to the ...

Conventional thinking holds that the metal site in single atom catalysts (SACs) has been a limiting factor to the continued improvement of the design and, therefore, the continued improvement of the ...

A research team at the Politecnico di Milano has developed an innovative single-atom catalyst capable of selectively adapting its chemical activity. This is a crucial step forward in sustainable ...

Catalysts play a vital role in modern society, supporting processes from metallurgy to pharmaceutical production. To reduce environmental impact and maximize efficiency, science has pushed the ...

Traditional catalysts often waste material because only surface atoms participate in reactions, while the bulk material goes untouched. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) overcome this inefficiency by ...

The rapid accumulation of plastic waste is currently posing significant risks for both human health and the environment on ...

A team in Milan has developed a first-of-its-kind single-atom catalyst that acts like a molecular switch, enabling cleaner, more adaptable chemical reactions. Stable, recyclable, and eco-friendly, it ...

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are emerging as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a key ...
