Carbon dioxide can be electrocatalytically reduced to useful resources using conventional catalysts such as gold or lead supported on conductive carbon. However, the high pH environment near ...

A team of engineers has combined graphene and titanium dioxide nanoparticles to create a new solar-powered catalyst that can pluck pollutants out of the air, much more efficiently than others. The ...

The new catalyst, based on in-liquid plasma-treated titanium dioxide with silver nanoparticles, offers enhanced CO2 conversion. Conventional catalysts degrade in high pH environments, but the new ...

The excited electrons in titanium dioxide are capable of generating hydrogen from the protons in water and organic compounds. However, hydrogen production is very low because the electrons tend to ...

A scientific group of Russian scientists from Skoltech, the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and TPU has synthesized a new catalyst for the ...

Catalysts typically break down an oxygen molecule into two identical atoms that behave the same. But on a titanium oxide catalyst, the two atoms of a split oxygen molecule act differently: one fills a ...
