“Ninety percent of all catalytic processes use metal oxides as a support,” Mavrikakis says. “Therefore, all of the reactions including water as an impurity or reactant or product would be affected by ...

Figure 1: Electronic structures of Co-containing perovskite oxides. Figure 2: Direct evidence of lattice oxygen oxidation involved in the OER of 18 O-labelled perovskites. Figure 3: pH-dependent OER ...

When metals react with oxygen, metal oxides are formed. The speed of the reaction depends on the reactivity of the metal. Watch this video for a practical demonstration of reacting metals with oyxgen.

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions. Physically confined spaces can make for more efficient chemical reactions, according to ...

The discovery of graphene—a one-atom-thick sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms—inspired the research community to generate a variety of 2D materials. Graphene, MoS 2, the silicon equivalent of ...

Catalysts are workhorses that help reactions occur. Put to work, they transform starting materials, such as fossil fuels, biomass or even waste, into products and fuels with minimal energy.

Magnesium metal is dissolved in HCl in 500mL Florence flasks covered with balloons. The moles of each reagent are changed in each flask in order to demonstrate the limiting reagent concept. In flasks ...

Many metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides. Potassium and sodium are soft metal which are easily cut exposing a shiny surface which changes to dull rapidly. The change from shiny to dull is ...
