Electric fields arise spontaneously at the surface of solid catalysts immersed in liquids, and this common yet largely overlooked phenomenon directly affects the rates of a large class of reactions.

A new study examines an aspect of photocatalysis that normally does not get much recognition: recyclability. In chemistry, in order to achieve efficiency of any chemical reaction, a catalyst is added ...

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen gas. This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen ...
