Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are emerging as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a key barrier in clean hydrogen production. However, their catalytic performance ...

Scientists have developed a new way to improve solid acid catalysts, a critical tool in breaking down plastic waste, by introducing imperfections in the material’s structure 1. Plastic ...

The study introduces a trimetallic catalyst—comprising nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) nanoparticles supported on defective ceria (CeO 2)—that achieves unprecedented performance in CO 2 ...

Persistent pharmaceutical residues such as carbamazepine are increasingly detected in natural waters, posing long-term ecological and human health risks due to their resistance to conventional ...

Researchers have discovered that a 'single atomic defect' in a layered 2D material can hold onto quantum information for microseconds at room temperature. This underscores the broader potential of 2D ...

Graphene and hexagonal Boron Nitride possesses exceptional chemical and physical properties. Recent experimental results ...

Scientists have developed a new catalyst that uses both single atoms and engineered defects to improve the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a key step in green hydrogen production. Study: ...
