Scientists have developed a new technique called IET to directly measure the electron sharing responsible for the effectiveness of precious-metal catalysts. This allows them to observe, with unprecedented clarity, how molecules bind to and react on metal surfaces. The research provides valuable insights into the catalytic process at the atomic level, paving the way for accelerated discovery and development of advanced catalysts. These improved catalysts hold the potential to revolutionize industries like energy, chemicals, and manufacturing by making processes more efficient and sustainable.
