A groundbreaking study led by researchers from the UK Catalysis Hub has shed new light on the dynamics of methanol within copper-loaded zeolites, offering promising insights into the development of ...

Only a small percentage of plastic bags and other polyethylene packaging is recycled because only low-value products can be made from this waste. Chemists have created a catalytic process that ...

Catalytic routes to hydrocarbons underpin the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks from diverse carbon sources, including fossil-derived syngas, biomass and carbon dioxide. Central to these ...

Emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) due to human activity have increased significantly since the industrial revolution, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by burning fossil-derived fuels is a key ...

Liquid-phase etherification is a cornerstone reaction for the synthesis of ethers used as solvents, fuel additives and fine chemicals. The process relies on heterogeneous or homogeneous catalysts to ...

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have achieved a significant milestone in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO 2) into valuable fuels and chemicals, marking an important step towards a ...

What are the primary challenges associated with using spectroscopy to study industrial catalytic reactors, and how does the iso-potential operando DRIFTS technique overcome these challenges? Using ...

An underutilized natural resource could be just what the airline industry needs to curb carbon emissions. Researchers report success in using lignin as a path toward a drop-in 100% sustainable ...

Researchers from King's College London and Trinity College Dublin have developed a new aluminium compound called ...
