Chemists have long known that catalytic Lewis acidic and Lewis basic sites on metal and metal oxide surfaces help spark a range of reactions that are important in industrial chemical and fuel ...

Layered NiCo–OH nanosheets are converted into spinel-structured NiCo 2 O 4 via low-temperature calcination, enabling precise tuning of surface acid sites. Systematic C 1 –C 6 Alcohol Screening: The ...

New findings reveal that organosulfate groups, not carboxyls, control graphene oxide's surface charge in water, challenging long-standing models and reshaping its chemical profile. (Nanowerk Spotlight ...

Scientists have developed a data-driven method to accelerate the discovery of affordable, stable catalysts for clean hydrogen production. Using a digital platform called DigCat, they identified a ...

The schematic diagram reveals that the stabilizing effect of iridium single atoms during the acidic oxygen evolution reaction is determined by their anchoring sites. Single atoms anchored at lattice ...

Using a digital platform called DigCat, researchers identified a low-cost metal oxide that performs both OER and HER in acidic conditions and remains stable over time. Hydrogen can be produced through ...
