By using this catalyst powder in contaminated water, the researchers reported that the Escherichia coli colonies in the tested samples were fully eradicated after a 60 second exposure to sunlight.

Hydrogen peroxide selectivity can be increased to 95% by using this catalyst, compared with only 30-40% for a palladium catalyst, which indicates that mostly hydrogen peroxide on the developed Pt ...

To enable early diagnosis of acute illnesses and effective management of chronic conditions, point-of-care testing (POCT) ...

"The mesoporous carbon catalyst technology, which utilizes oxygen from the air we breathe to produce hydrogen peroxide from a neutral electrolyte, is more practical than conventional catalysts and ...

The group recently decided to focus on hydrogen peroxide and began to collaborate with Professor Javier Pérez-Ramírez at ETH-Zurich, who discovered that certain organic groups produced alongside the ...

A catalyst does not actually become part of the products of the reaction. Summary Students watch a video and do a quick activity to see that a catalyst can increase the rate of the breakdown ...

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was enhanced through the development of a novel class of heterogeneous molecular catalysts incorporating an integrated magnetic field. Traditional methods for ...

When used as a catalyst, the defective particles known as CB-Plasma reduce oxygen to hydrogen peroxide with 100% Faradaic efficiency, a measure of charge transfer in electrochemical reactions.
