It has recently been shown that using external magnetic fields to modulate spin states of single-atom catalysts (SACs) is ...

Consecutive extraction of single-atom and -electron for tailoring the gold nanoparticle magnetism and catalysis was achieved. (Image: WU Zhikun) Using this series of clusters, the researchers were ...

Although MFE effect on chemical reactions has been exploited in homogenous spin catalysis systems as well as in bulk solid catalysts (e.g. mixed oxides and metal), the design of advanced ...

They applied an external magnetic field to the catalyst and found something remarkable. The field caused a shift in the electrons’ spin state, moving them into what’s called a high-spin state.

Due to the partial SCO of the iron center, the mixed-spin (MS) nanosheet catalyst exhibited a high CO yield of 19.7 mmol g-1 and a selectivity of 91.6%, far above the high-spin counterpart.

Researchers proposed a completely novel strategy to apply an external magnetic field to modulate spin states, and thereby improve electrocatalytic performance. (Nanowerk News) The job of a catalyst is ...
