Platinum is a useful as a catalyst for industrial chemistry. UC Davis researchers have developed a new technique to trap clusters of a few platinum atoms (white arrow on right) in nanometer-scale ...

Platinum selenaide is a two-dimensional material formed by the layered combination of platinum (Pt) and selenium (Se). Its excellent crystallinity and precise control of interlayer interactions allow ...

Chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University (SBU), and their collaborators have uncovered new details of the reversible assembly and ...

The "Platinum-Based Catalysts Global Market Report 2025" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The platinum-based catalysts market has experienced robust growth recently, with its value ...

A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but it's costly and carbon-intensive. Now, a serendipitous collaboration between ...

Platinum is an important catalyst. But up until now, nobody know how exactly single platinum atoms behave during catalysis. Platinum is an important catalyst. But up until now, nobody know how exactly ...

Researchers have devised a method for combining high-cost platinum and a low-cost rare earth element, lanthanum, as an alloy to serve as a catalyst in the next generation of fuel cells that will ...

Electrolysers produce hydrogen. Fuel cells, in turn, generate electricity from hydrogen. Both technologies are considered key ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new catalyst that could make hydrogen production cheaper and more efficient by reducing the amount of platinum needed. Hydrogen is often promoted as a clean energy ...

Researchers are increasingly looking to hydrogen fuel cell systems as alternate power sources for vehicles and other applications due to their fast refueling time, high energy density and lack of ...

(Nanowerk News) Noble metals such as platinum can make useful catalysts to accelerate chemical reactions, particularly hydrogenation (adding hydrogen atoms to a molecule). The research team led by ...
