Electrocatalytic water oxidation, the anodic half-reaction of water splitting, is fundamental to sustainable hydrogen production and artificial photosynthesis. Manganese oxides have attracted ...

A research team has developed a new strategy to improve catalysts used to remove nitrogen oxides from industrial emissions. By using ethanol during catalyst preparation, the scientists significantly ...

Researchers report a new method that reduces the amount of iridium needed to produce hydrogen from water by 95%, without altering the rate of hydrogen production. This breakthrough could revolutionize ...

Conventional catalysts for hydrogen production via water electrolysis usually contain precious metals and are expensive. However, cheaper alternatives have been developed -- for example, ...

Scientists have long noted with interest that in one of nature’s crucial chemical reactions—the oxygen evolution reaction—it is manganese, rather than more plentiful similar elements such as iron, ...

In a small manganese oxide cluster, teams from HZB and HU Berlin have discovered a particularly exciting compound: two high-spin manganese centers in two very different oxidation states. This complex ...

Discovering new catalysts is one of the central challenges in developing clean-energy technologies such as green hydrogen production. Yet catalyst discovery has traditionally remained confined within ...
