Carbon-supported single-atom catalysts with metal-N moieties are highly promising for lithium–sulfur batteries. They can enhance redox kinetics and suppress the dissolution of lithium polysulfides.

One of the world’s most persistent waste problems, plastics are durable and difficult to recycle. Developed by researchers ...

A new reagent has moved carbon-atom transfer out of the chemical flatlands, allowing chemists to place a single carbon atom so that it makes bonds to four different substituents. The reagent makes ...

Plastic waste can be turned into carbon nanomaterials that act as efficient single-atom catalysts for clean energy and water ...

Innovative techniques convert plastics into advanced catalysts, showcasing potential for clean energy and water purification ...

As a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, Mark Levin started sketching out ideas for how to do something no chemist had ever managed before: swapping one of the carbon atoms in ...
