Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new machine learning framework that can accelerate the search for better catalysts—the materials ...

The production of more than 90 percent of all chemical products we use in our everyday lives relies on catalysts. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions, can reduce the energy required for these ...

Photocatalysis is the use of light to accelerate the rate of a reaction in the presence of a photocatalyst. The catalyst plays a crucial role in this process—it absorbs the light being shined onto it ...

Researchers are developing exascale software tools to enable the design of new chemicals and chemical processes for clean energy production. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National ...

Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are ...

To add to the difficulty, ideal catalyst candidates are rare. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new machine learning framework that ...

Heterogeneous catalysts speed up chemical reactions by being in a different state than the reactants. They are efficient and stable, even under challenging conditions such as high temperature or ...
