Metal sulfides with seven to eight d electrons show optimal performance as catalysts for water electrolysis, as reported by researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo. In a comprehensive analysis ...

Aryl sulfide, an aromatic compound in which sulfur is attached to an aryl (a functional group derived from an aromatic ring), is found in biologically active materials effective against asthma, ...

A new study reveals iron sulfides in early Earth's hot springs catalyzed CO₂ reduction into organic molecules, potentially aiding life’s origins. Manganese doping enhanced catalytic activity, ...

Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed novel high-entropy sulfides (HESs) as catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). These materials contain a combination ...

The bacteria in our intestinal tract play many essential roles in maintaining our health and metabolism. Keeping these organisms happy and striking a good balance among species is therefore very ...

Copper-containing rock hosts only a small percentage of copper. Most of the rock is unwanted material, typically referred to as gangue. Depending on to what minerals the copper is bound, the rock is ...

Researchers demonstrated that phosphorus-alloying significantly increases the activity of precious metal nanoparticles for the deoxygenation of sulfoxides into sulfides. In particular, ruthenium ...

The importance of aryl sulfides in biologically active compounds has led chemists to develop methods to synthesize them from carbon-sulfur bond forming reactions. The conventional reaction, however, ...
