Others, meanwhile, propose the oxygen's formation through mechanisms like what's known as the "three-body recombination" reaction of two oxygen atoms or the dissociation of CO2 under ultraviolet ...

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) pollution drives climate change, warming the planet and threatening human survival. Plants naturally ...

Many metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides. Potassium and sodium are soft metal which are easily cut exposing a shiny surface which changes to dull rapidly. The change from shiny to dull ...

In the reaction, the bonds in the methane and oxygen molecule come apart, the atoms rearrange and then re-bond to form water and carbon dioxide. The little number written at the lower right after an ...

Ancient microbes illustrate a particular kind of respiration in which carbon dioxide and hydrogen are combined to form acetic ...

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen gas. This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen ...

Details of the chemical reaction of oxygen with the [Fe-S] cluster reveal how this cofactor is used for oxygen sensing.

ETH researchers have developed a low-cost sensor made of carbon nanotubes that can selectively, efficiently and reliably measure minute quantities of oxygen in gas mixtures under light. The detector ...

A major drawback is the cost of production, dominated by the quantity of an expensive platinum catalyst required for the oxygen reduction reaction. Recent research indicates promising replacement ...

"Most research has only focused on one part of the reaction, the oxygen reduction part, to either get water or hydrogen peroxide," says Dr. Yan Li, the first author of the paper. "Researchers have ...
