This innovative bismuth oxide catalyst allows for the selective combustion of acetylene, potentially transforming industrial ...

Researchers have discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of hydrocarbons -- compounds made of hydrogen and carbon atoms.

The hydrocarbons in different fractions differ in these properties. For example, the bitumen fraction contains hydrocarbons with more than 35 carbon atoms. These have boiling points well above ...

Researchers have discovered how a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of hydrocarbons, which ...

A system inspired by photosynthesis is to be used to produce synthetic fuels. It also provides valuable by-products.

Unlike most metal catalysts, which can only convert CO₂ into single-carbon molecules, the copper flowers enable the formation of more complex hydrocarbons with two carbon atoms, such as ethane ...
