Figure 1: Catalytic conversion of levulinic acid. Figure 2: Catalytic performance of bimetallic and monometallic catalysts. Any changes in the mean metal particle diameters of the fresh and spent ...

Cu is believed to be an inactive metal with little or no catalytic activity for methane decomposition. 16,17 It is, however, wrong to think that copper has no hydrocarbon reforming capability and its ...

Catalysts, that make chemical reactions occur faster and more efficiently, are used in the production of most of the chemicals people use daily, such as gasoline, fertilizers and, even, margarine. The ...

(Nanowerk News) Atomic-scale snapshots of a bimetallic nanoparticle catalyst in action have provided insights that could help improve the industrial process by which fuels and chemicals are ...

Bimetallic, nanostructured materials hold promise for improving catalyst activity and selectivity, yet little is known about the dynamic compositional and structural changes that these systems undergo ...

Chemical reactions are usually accompanied by thermal effects, inevitably resulting in temperature change in the reaction system. Therefore, temperature is an important parameter in reactions, which ...

New research has reported the conjugated dual-size effect of core-shell bimetallic nanocatalysts for the first time, where the activity of the catalysts increases with the core size in the benzyl ...

Bimetallic particles, composed of a noble metal and a base metal, exhibit unique catalytic properties in selective heterogeneous hydrogenations due to their distinct geometric and electronic ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new catalyst that could make hydrogen production cheaper and more efficient by reducing the amount of platinum needed. Hydrogen is often promoted as a clean energy ...

Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to its molecular ...

Researchers have developed a bimetallic catalysis technique using gold and palladium nanoparticles on a conductive support that could lead to new design pathways for greener production of renewable ...
