Chemical reactions occur when elements or compounds combine and create new compounds. Elements are substances that contain only one type of atom and are represented by unique symbols on the periodic ...

WE have made a preliminary survey of the principal respects in which the reaction of deuterium with oxygen differs from that of ordinary hydrogen. The deuterium was prepared by the nearly quantitative ...

A team of researchers has found one of the most effective catalysts ever discovered for splitting oxygen atoms from water molecules -- a key reaction for advanced energy-storage systems, including ...

The electrolytic film produced at Rice and tested at Houston is a three-layer structure of nickel, graphene and a compound of iron, manganese and phosphorus. The foamy nickel gives the film a large ...

A single, robust catalyst that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen has been developed with Earth-abundant materials that approach the efficiency of more expensive platinum, according to scientists.

Chemists Joel Rosenthal and Daniel G. Nocera of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology provide this answer. When molecular hydrogen (H 2) and oxygen (O 2) are combined and allowed to react together ...
