A catalytic mechanism is the sequence of elementary reactions by which a catalytic reaction proceeds. The behaviour of nanoconfined water can be very different from that of the bulk and is ...

concealing it from the solution and effectively inhibiting the catalytic process. The feasibility of this mechanism is supported by theoretical simulations conducted by scientists from the ...

New research uses AI to engineer enzymes with intricate active sites, expanding the possibilities for synthetic biocatalysts.

The discipline of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) seeks to control and understand the networks of reactions that occur in ‘reactors’ ranging from cellular compartments up to world-scale ...

Researchers investigate the mechanisms by which water, when added to the reaction mixture of a ruthenium-based catalytic process, enhances the conversion of polyolefins into fuels like diesel and ...

"The addition of water alters the reaction mechanisms, promoting pathways that enhance catalytic activity while suppressing coke formation," explains Dr. Ro. "This dual role improves process ...

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 ...
