New Ceramic Catalyst Uses Sodium and Boron to Drive Sustainable Industrial Reactions

Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are increasingly looking at more common elements as alternatives. In a recent study, researchers used a concept called “frustrated Lewis pairs” to develop a transition metal-free catalyst for activating hydrogen. This breakthrough could lead to more sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient chemical processes.
Heterogeneous catalysts speed up chemical reactions by being in a different state than the reactants. They are efficient and stable, even under challenging conditions … Read More → "New Ceramic Catalyst Uses Sodium and Boron to Drive Sustainable Industrial Reactions"
