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 ...

Most transition elements react slowly, or not at all, with oxygen at room temperature. Some transition metals react with oxygen on heating, for example: The group 1 elements react vigorously with ...

The reactivity series allows us to predict how metals will react. Redox, extraction of iron and transition metals Redox reactions are involved in the extraction of metals from their ores ...

A sodium-doped, transition metal-free amorphous SiBN ceramic, composed of silicon (Si), boron (B), and nitrogen (N), was designed for small molecule activation and catalysis. The strategic ...

This review summarizes the catalytic performance of various metal-based catalysts in the CO2-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes, with the goal of identifying catalyst systems that ...

Researchers developed a sodium-doped amorphous SiBN catalyst, showcasing its potential for small molecule activation and ...

Heterogeneous catalysts speed up chemical reactions by being in a different state than the reactants. They are efficient and ...
