A major drawback is the cost of production, dominated by the quantity of an expensive platinum catalyst required for the oxygen reduction reaction. Recent research indicates promising replacement ...

In this reaction, carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen. At the same time, copper oxide is reduced because oxygen is removed from it.

One of the challenges in using platinum (Pt) as a catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells is that it reacts too slowly and doesn't work efficiently enough. A promising ...

This reaction, called the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), was improved by developing a new class of heterogeneous molecular catalysts with an integrated magnetic field. The research is published ...

Iridium-based catalysts are needed to produce hydrogen using water electrolysis. Now, a team has shown that the newly developed P2X catalyst, which requires only a quarter of the Iridium, is as ...

Nano-ZnO is a potential catalyst material for carbon dioxide electrocatalytic reduction (CO2RR), but its effective Faraday ...
