Car owners sometimes find, to their dismay, that their catalytic converters have been stolen because of the platinum inside.

By tailoring the copper(II)–alkylperoxo complex composition, the researchers achieved selective oxidation of unactivated alkanes, a pivotal advancement in catalytic science. Moreover ...

Upon addition of hydrogen peroxide to Rochelle's salt (sodium potassium tartrate), the hydrogen peroxide decomposes and tartaric acid is oxidized. This reaction proceeds very slowly at room ...

With the advent of aberration-corrected instrumentation, single gold atoms can be resolved and we now know that catalytic activity ... Apart from carbon monoxide oxidation and acetylene ...

This review summarizes the catalytic performance of various metal-based catalysts in the CO2-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes, with the goal of identifying catalyst systems that ...
