Acetylene hydrogenation is a critical process in the petrochemical industry, where trace amounts of acetylene must be selectively converted to ethylene without further hydrogenation to ethane.
Ethylene is one of the most important building blocks in chemical synthesis. Traditional thermocatalytic hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene (HAE) requires high temperatures and high pressure, ...
The role of surface modification of nanoparticle catalysts in alkyne hydrogenation reactions was systematically investigated by the Center for Nanoscale Materials' NanoBio Interfaces Group working ...
Ethylene is traditionally obtained through steam cracking of petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. Recently, the semi-hydrogenation of coal-derived acetylene has emerged as an alternative to produce ...
When it comes to catalytic activity, more isn’t always better. Overly active catalysts may be hard to control; finding the sweet spot can be tricky. That job may be easier now thanks to a study ...
A light-driven catalyst built from palladium single atoms and plasmonic gold nanoparticles converts phenylacetylene to styrene at room temperature with 90% selectivity. (Nanowerk News) Researchers ...
