Suitable catalysts are of great importance for efficient power-to-X applications—but the molecular processes occurring during their use have not yet been fully understood. Using X-rays from a ...

A fundamental discovery about the Fischer–Tropsch process, a catalytic reaction used in industry to convert coal, natural gas or biomass to liquid fuels, could someday allow for more efficient fuel ...

Chemists at the LIKAT Technical Center in Rostock have succeeded for the first time in producing a new catalyst on a pilot scale. The first ten kilograms of the substance have now been delivered to ...

The Fischer Tropsch process was found to oscillate between high and low activity states, a behavior that could enhance the reaction rate and yield of desired products. Traditionally misunderstood, ...

First the feedstock methane is broken down by reacting it with oxygen in the form of steam or air to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In the second phase this syngas is fed to ...

Plastics, oil, petrol– the modern world is entirely dependent on hydrocarbons. The good sources are slowly running low and supply is increasingly complicated by geopolitical factors we really don’t ...
