Tuning the environment of supported palladium atoms with hydrogen treatment enhances their catalytic activity.

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.

Increasing the concentration of ions in zeolite micropores leads to a significant increase in the rate of acid catalyzed reactions.

Electronic modifications from hydrogen spillover onto the oxide support increase the activity of single-atom rhodium catalysts.

ChemReasoner combines decades of chemistry knowledge with large language models to propose strategies for effective new catalysts.

PNNL will engage with transmission planners and other regional partners through technical assistance and listening sessions with the goal of exploring opportunities to integrate equity into transmission planning.

Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.
