When iron filings and sulfur powder are ignited, the reaction is anything but gentle. The two elements fuse into iron sulfide, releasing intense heat and sometimes toxic gas. It’s a classic ...

Peroxidases are enzymes that break down hydrogen peroxide in organisms. Since their discovery in 1998, the electron source of ...

Lithium-sulfur batteries have exceptional theoretical capacity and performance in combination with an element in abundant supply. But the intricate reaction mechanism, particularly during discharge, ...

Researchers have created an iron catalyst that can facilitate important chemical reactions in place of the current catalyst, which is made from precious metals. A catalyst is a key ingredient for many ...

A group of chemists from Rice University has created a more cost-effective and ecologically friendly method of incorporating chlorine into chemical building blocks for pharmaceuticals, plastics, ...

Despite natural evidence indicating sulfur's importance and efficiency as a catalyst for critical redox reactions, including hydrogenation (addition of hydrogen to molecule) and dehydrogenation (its ...

As electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity, scientists see great potential in lithium-sulfur batteries as a more environmentally friendly way to power them. This is because they don't rely on ...
