…Nature Comm.: On the route to cheap and efficient fuel cells. Even traces of oxygen can deactivate molecular catalyst that are incorporated in fuel cells. Consequently, this drawback hampered the use of such catalyst based on abundant metals, which...

…Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Chemists at the Centre for Electrochemical Sciences at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have developed a catalyst with self-healing properties.

…Angew.Chem.: Electrocatalysts can help to obtain chemicals from renewable raw materials or to use alternative energy sources. But testing new catalysts brings challenges.

…Nat. Comm.: With the aid of platinum catalysts, it is possible to efficiently produce hydrogen. However, this metal is rare and expensive. Researchers have discovered an alternative that is just as good, but less costly.

… production of many drugs and pesticides requires certain nitrogen compounds, called aromatic amines. Researchers at RUB have developed a new efficient catalyst to synthesise these substances. The system is more active than conventional catalysts,...
