Electrochemical update to a classic reaction trades cryogenic conditions for room temperature, to selectively convert primary ...

Hybrid water electrolysers are recent devices, which produce hydrogen or other reduction products at the cathode, while ...

Selective coupling of oxygenates is critical to many synthetic processes, including those necessary for the development of alternative fuels. We report a general process for selective coupling of ...

Researchers can make the oxidation reactions used in the synthesis of organic molecules cleaner by hitching photovoltaics to electrochemistry. The idea is simple and yet it has huge implications. To ...

A new electrochemical method turns carbon dioxide and alcohols into valuable chemicals on both sides of a single cell, using a sulfur-modified catalyst that improves efficiency and selectivity.

Hybrid electrocatalysts can produce green hydrogen, for example, and valuable organic compounds simultaneously. This promises economically viable ...

The Fenton reaction is a chemical transition involving hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and the ferrous (iron) ion, which acts as a catalyst. This process is used to destroy hazardous contaminants in ...

Environmental Health Perspectives, Vol. 103, Supplement 1: Fate, Transport, and Interactions of Metals (Feb., 1995), pp. 17-19 (3 pages) Several metal or metalloid ions exist in multiple oxidation ...

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...
