Catalytic Catamarans: Common Industrial Catalyst Sports Rafts Made Of Platinum

Catalysts convert useless or unwanted chemicals into useful or more desirable ones. Research reveals new, important details about a common catalyst: chemically reactive platinum atoms group into rafts that float above the supporting surface, providing ample space for catalytic reactions. The new work yields insights into how to improve the industrial catalyst for oil refining, chemicals processing and environmental uses.
