Researchers at the University of Basel have developed chromium compounds that can replace the noble metals osmium and ruthenium—two elements that are almost as rare as gold or platinum—in luminescent ...

Expensive noble metals often play a vital role in illuminating screens or converting solar energy into fuels. Now, chemists have succeeded in replacing these rare elements with a significantly cheaper ...

image: The introduction of light atomic species (e.g., H, B, C, and N) into noble metal lattices plays an important role in optimizing catalytic performance by modulating structural and electronic ...

Billions of noble metal catalysts are used worldwide for the production of chemicals, energy generation, or cleaning the air. However, the resources required for this purpose are expensive and limited ...

Researchers at Hunan University, University College London and the University of Oxford have developed a new metal-nitrogen-carbon catalyst for zinc-air batteries (ZABs) that outperforms noble metal ...
