Scientists Measure Tiny Electron Fraction, Solving Century-Old Catalysis Mystery
Originally Published 3 months ago — by SciTechDaily
Scientists at the University of Minnesota and University of Houston have developed a new technique called Isopotential Electron Titration (IET) to directly measure the tiny fraction of an electron involved in catalytic processes, providing new insights into how catalysts like gold, silver, and platinum work, which could lead to more efficient and cost-effective manufacturing of fuels, chemicals, and materials.
