Pioneering new tool will spur advances in catalysis

An automated analytical method to speed the discovery process in single atom catalysts

14-Jan-2025 - For decades,catalysts have been unsung heroes in daily life. These workhorses transform a starting material into a product or fuel with lower energy, like the yeast in bread making and human-made catalysts for converting raw materials into fuels more efficiently and sustainably. A promising ...

Imaging technique enables studies on the dynamics of nanocatalysts at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution

04-Jun-2010 - Tiny catalyst materials may take part in a rich variety of very fast physical and chemical processes which can now be revealed more precisely thanks to a new imaging mode for dynamic transmission electron microscopes (DTEMs) developed by US scientists. "Our group has developed a dark-field ...
