New catalysts investigated with the ALBA Synchrotron
New catalysts investigated with the ALBA Synchrotron
A group of researchers, led by UPC university in Barcelona, which works on catalysts, has discovered that atoms react differently depending on the characteristics of the support that is used. Part of this study, which has been published on October 31 in the famous Science Magazine, was performed at the CIRCE beamline of ALBA Synchrotron.
The study is an important step forward in the design of new catalysts with applications in the field of energy: the catalyst investigated by the researchers contains metal (rhodium and palladium) nanoparticles and is very effective at producing hydrogen, a product that could replace fossil fuels and contribute to the energy transition.
