A switchable single-atom catalyst is activated in the presence of surface intermediates and reverts to its stable inactive form when the reaction is completed.
A new study demonstrates a hybrid model that can simulate part of a system at the molecular scale and other parts at larger scales in a computationally efficient manner, providing greater simulation flexibility.
Catalysts that efficiently transfer hydrogen for storage in organic hydrogen carriers are key for more sustainable generation and use of hydrogen. New research identifies activity descriptors that can accelerate novel catalyst development.
