Two hundred times better catalysts thanks to carbon

“For a long time, the use of carbon as a carrier material for catalysis had something almost magical”

12-Nov-2024 - When you place metal nanoparticles on carbon, they become much more active. What was previously only assumed based on experience could now be explained in detail for the first time at TU Wien (Vienna). Precious metals play an important role in the chemical industry as catalysts: With the help of ...
