manganese oxide and niobium pentoxide. They then used the catalysts to convert small pieces of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles into two value-added products – bis(2-hydroxyethyl ...

Recently, the team achieved a milestone by stabilizing green hydrogen production at a relatively high level using a form of manganese oxide as a catalyst. However, transitioning this success to ...

Catalysts take many forms. Some are porous solids, such as the platinum, rhodium and palladium meshes that remove nitrogen oxide from automobile exhaust. Others are protein molecules, called enzymes, ...

In this case, a black powder, manganese(IV) oxide, is added as the catalyst. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are still given off, but more quickly.

With the catalyst, researchers were able to produce hydrogen continuously for roughly four months at 82% efficiency. "The ...

Researchers at IIT Hyderabad have found a way to transform plastic bottles into useful materials. They used special catalysts ...
