The porous nanoparticles had much more surface area for the reaction to take place, making the reaction run faster. Other iron oxides with a porous structure could also be cost-effective. “The goal is ...

Naturally occurring in soils and sediments, iron oxides, too, can perform the reaction that transforms organic phosphorus to generate the inorganic form. How much and how fast?

In general, the greater the difference in reactivity between two metals in a displacement reaction, the greater the amount of energy released. Aluminium is much higher than iron in the reactivity ...

An alternative approach is to reduce iron oxides directly with hydrogen. But most hydrogen is obtained by the reaction of methane with water, or by the electrolysis of water 3. Either way requires ...

Water clustering on nanostructured iron oxide films. Nature Communications, 2014; 5 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5193 ...

Introduction Iron, one of the most abundant metals in the earth crust (Weber et al., 2006), is a transition metal. Iron has the ability to dynamically form compounds with organic ligands, while ...

The reaction takes place at normal pressure and the storage capacity increases with each cycle. Once filled with iron oxide, the reactor can be reused for any number of storage cycles without having ...

In fact, iron oxides are incredibly efficient catalysts — capable of driving the conversion at rates comparable to the reactions of enzymes. The discovery could help researchers and industry experts ...
