When metals react with oxygen, metal oxides are formed. The speed of the reaction depends on the reactivity of the metal. Watch this video for a practical demonstration of reacting metals with oyxgen.

Figure 1: Electronic structures of Co-containing perovskite oxides. Figure 2: Direct evidence of lattice oxygen oxidation involved in the OER of 18 O-labelled perovskites. Figure 3: pH-dependent OER ...

There are 118 elements known at present. There are similarities as well as differences are the properties of these elements on the basis of their, all the element can be divided three types: Metal; ...

The discovery of graphene—a one-atom-thick sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms—inspired the research community to generate a variety of 2D materials. Graphene, MoS 2, the silicon equivalent of ...

Singlet oxygen can be damaging in both cells and batteries but it has taken almost 60 years to work out exactly when it shows ...

Certain features of metal surfaces can stop the process of oxidation in its tracks, new research has found. The findings could be relevant to understanding and perhaps controlling oxidation in a wide ...

In a paper published in the journal Chemistry of Materials, the scientists explain that metal electrolysis is a process in which a metal oxide, the ore, is zapped with electricity to create pure metal ...

Platinum, one of the rarest and most expensive metals on Earth, may soon find itself out of a job. Known for its allure in engagement rings, platinum is also treasured for its ability to jump-start ...
