A research team, affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a cutting-edge catalyst with exceptional oxidizing power, capable of extracting electrons from compounds. Anticipated to revolutionize various ...

In this case, a black powder, manganese(IV) oxide, is added as the catalyst. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are still given off, but more quickly.

Catalysts take many forms. Some are porous solids, such as the platinum, rhodium and palladium meshes that remove nitrogen oxide from automobile exhaust. Others are protein molecules, called enzymes, ...
