Researchers reveal atomic-scale details of catalysts’ active sites

New technique from the CNSI at UCLA may lead to design approaches that optimize the performance of chemical reactions

09-Aug-2024 - The chemical and energy industries depend upon catalysts to drive the reactions used to create their products. Many important reactions use heterogeneous catalysts — meaning that the catalysts are in a different phase of matter than the substances they are reacting with, such as solid platinum ...
