Platinum is a useful as a catalyst for industrial chemistry. UC Davis researchers have developed a new technique to trap clusters of a few platinum atoms (white arrow on right) in nanometer-scale ...
A team at Washington University in St. Louis has demonstrated a platinum-free catalyst for water electrolysis that survived ...
Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in solid supports as well as their spatial orientation. In the future, this ...
Researchers are increasingly looking to hydrogen fuel cell systems as alternate power sources for vehicles and other applications due to their fast refueling time, high energy density and lack of ...
Platinum costs roughly $31,000 per kilogram. Iron costs less than a dollar. That price gap has haunted the hydrogen fuel-cell ...
Using a combination of spectromicroscopy at BESSY II and microscopic analyses at DESY's NanoLab, a team has gained new insights into the chemical behavior of nanocatalysts during catalysis. The ...
A major use of critical materials is in catalysis, which is the subject of both this chapter and the next chapter. Catalysts can be used on a large scale, as is the case with many heterogeneous ...
A research team at Washington University in St. Louis has run a platinum-free hydrogen electrode for more than 1,000 hours at ...
A new technique to trap clusters of platinum atoms in nanoscale islands could lead to more efficient catalysts for the chemical industry. Noble metals such as platinum can make useful catalysts to ...
