A research team at King’s College London has isolated a triangular aluminum compound, called a cyclotrialumane, that can ...

Precious metals like palladium and platinum are often used as chemical catalysts, but they’re expensive. Scientists may have ...

Given the unexpected and unusual coupling of ketimines with vinyl bromides in the absence of added catalyst, a synergistic computational and experimental study was undertaken to gain insight into the ...

Transition metals-enabled cross-coupling reactions are widely recognized as among the most significant catalysis tools available to chemists. By employing a third reactant, a team of researchers ...

A research team has developed a new cathode material that significantly improves the environmental stability and cycling performance of sodium-ion batteries. By designing a radial gradient ...

In the production of compounds, chemists have the fundamental goal of finding strategies that are most selective and avoid waste products. Breakthroughs in this area serve, among other things, to ...

The global energy crisis and environmental concerns are driving the development of clean and efficient energy conversion technologies. Electrocatalytic water splitting has emerged as a promising ...
