Generating hydrogen without releasing carbon dioxide sounds simple: pass electricity through water, split water molecules and generate green hydrogen. The hard part is the electrocatalyst. The best ones rely on platinum, ruthenium and iridium, which are scarce and expensive. We…

Mass transport can significantly affect electrocatalytic selectivity as surface-bound reaction intermediates are exchanged between the electrode and bulk electr

Researchers in Iran have shown that the oxidized form of the antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine acts as an efficient electrocatalytic mediator for oxidizing thiocyanate and sulfide at boron-doped

Via electrolysis, CO2 can be reduced to CO, a raw material for further chemical products such as fuels. Within the GreenQuest Project, an internation team led by HZB chemist Prashanth MENEZES has now systematically investigated catalyst layers made of silver nanoparticles, varying both the size of the particles and their density. The best yield was achieved with nanoparticles with diameters of around 10 nm, which were loosely distributed. Furthermore, they demonstrated how the economic efficiency of the electrochemical cell can be enhanced by integrating an additional chemical reaction at the anode, enabling the simultaneous production of a valuable formic acid, hydrogen, and CO in one device.

Electrooxidative C - C bond cleavage often encounters poor regioselectivity and low efficiency in conventional single-anode systems. Here, we deliberately customize a bipolar enzymic electrocatalyst HM@MM-MWCNT...
