Chemists have learned how to use catalysts to speed up the reactions that break down car exhaust. If your family’s car runs on gasoline, it has a device called a catalytic converter. Inside this ...

Some planes have catalytic converters, like the ones in cars, which use transition metals to turn ozone into breathable oxygen. But not every plane has one! This collection is made possible through ...

Rhodium and Platinum - in catalytic converters Nickel – to make margarine by hardening vegetable oil Vanadium (V) Oxide – in the contact process, to make sulphuric acid Adding a catalyst ...

While widely used in diverse applications, from automotive catalytic converters to high-temperature industrial processes, the fundamental reasons behind this anomalous thermal behavior have ...

"Previous work has mainly focused on improving catalytic activity," says Margraf, Chair of Physical Chemistry V: Theory and Machine Learning at the University of Bayreuth. "However, we have ...
