Aluminum is the third-most abundant element in Earth’s crust, after oxygen and silicon. The metal is low cost and highly recyclable, thus making it attractive for chemists looking for more sustainable ...

Direct oxidation of methane to methanol is dominated by transition- or noble-metal-based catalysts, thus making the reaction quite expensive. To make the process efficient and cost-effective, ...

Life is based on energy gained by electron-transfer processes; these processes rely on oxidoreductase enzymes, which often contain transition metals in their structures. The availability of different ...
