Chemical engineers at MIT have designed a cobalt catalyst that transforms polymers into propane selectively and efficiently (JACS Au, 2022, DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.2c00402). This method could provide an ...

Continued evaluation of multiple metal processing technologies to produce market-ready battery-grade nickel and cobalt compounds, copper and PGE metals from a low-cost, low-carbon footprint mine for ...

Metals like rhodium and palladium are C–H activation aces, but these metals are rare and expensive. For several years, chemists led by Lutz Ackermann at the Georg August University Göttingen have been ...

The country is considering extending a restriction on cobalt exports to further push up prices. It’s not the only mineral-rich country to try that. Tariffs aren’t the only thing restricting global ...
