Researchers have solved a key hurdle in greener manufacturing, carbon capture, energy storage and gas purification -- using metal oxides. Metal oxides are compounds that play a crucial role in ...

Most phosphorus in the environment is in an organic form that plants cannot directly use, and traditional understanding suggested only enzymes could convert it into the bioavailable inorganic form.

Many will be familiar with metal oxides, but within this general class is a specific category known as complex oxides. Metal oxides, as a general class, are inorganic materials that contain both ...

In their quest for more-efficient catalysts and better battery components, scientists are exploring a new category of materials known as high-entropy oxides. These oxides, made from five or more ...

A research team has developed a new strategy to improve catalysts used to remove nitrogen oxides from industrial emissions. By using ethanol during catalyst preparation, the scientists significantly ...

2H-NbO₂—a novel van der Waals oxide synthesized by researchers from Japan—exhibits strongly correlated electronic properties with two-dimensional flexibility. By chemically extracting lithium ions ...

A research team has unveiled a first-in-kind study of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and its role in the rise and fall of airborne sulfates in hazy air pollution, offering policymakers new insights into ways ...
