Adsorption is a phenomenon in which molecules or ions from a fluid phase (gas or liquid) are attracted and retained on the surface of a solid phase (adsorbent). Adsorption is different from absorption ...

A novel method converts industrial lignin waste into porous materials for effective removal of pollutants and bacteria from ...

Understanding how molecules interact with metal surfaces is fundamental to catalysis and surface chemistry. However, traditional computational methods face a trade-off: achieving high accuracy often ...

A research team has made a breakthrough in surface science by introducing a new active mechanism of adsorption. Such adsorption-based phenomena, in which molecules are attracted onto a solid surface, ...

Commercial uranium extraction from seawater could become viable within five years thanks to a new, game-changing technology.

A research team demonstrates that common agricultural and forestry residues—flax shives and eucalyptus sawdust—can be transformed into powerful magnetic carbon-based adsorbents capable of removing the ...

The study reveals strain-tunable gas sensing in Ag- and Au-doped SnSe2 monolayers, highlighting their potential for ...
