(Nanowerk News) As the need to mitigate climate change accelerates, scientists are trying to find new ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. One process, called electrochemical reduction or ...

A hidden shift in copper oxide catalysts to form metallic copper mid-reaction has been identified as the key to supercharging ...

Just like we recycle waste, repurposing excess CO2 from the atmosphere could be one way to abate the worsening climate crisis. In electrochemical reduction, CO2 is converted into industrial products ...

Researchers to get a better look at how peroxides on the surface of copper oxide promote the oxidation of hydrogen but inhibit the oxidation of carbon monoxide, allowing them to steer oxidation ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have revealed how a catalyst in a promising chemical reaction for industry helps make ...

Copper is a strategic metal essential to modern economies. However, its future supply is increasingly uncertain due to declining ore grades and surging global demand. In a new study published in ...

Scientists at Binghamton University have conducted research in collaboration with the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) — a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at ...

Detailed architecture of different copper nanoclusters. All the nanoclusters have identical numbers of copper atoms, thiolate ligands and hydrides. The alteration is visible only in PPh₃ ligand ...
