Collaboration Reveals How Light Unlocks Chemistry of Nickel Catalyst
Lakshmy Kannadi Valloli of Brookhaven Lab’s Chemistry Division performing experiments at Brookhaven’s Laser Electron Accelerator Facility. These experiments created a solvent radical and followed the chemistry as it produced a previously unknown intermediate form of a nickel-based catalyst.
Ateam of scientists across several U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories has unraveled how light and a previously unknown form of certain nickel-based catalysts together unlock and preserve reactivity.
