With the goal of overall curbing car emissions, the US Department of Energy (DOE) issued a challenge to scientists worldwide: catalytically converting 90 percent of all critical pollutants (hydrocarbons, CO2, NOx etc.) in car exhaust into less harmful substances at 150\u00baC. However, nanoparticle based heterogeneous catalysts\u2014like the three-way exhaust catalyst used in cars\u2014work best at high temperatures (between 200 and 400\u00baC), thus making the 150\u00baC DOE challenge seem difficult to attain.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-08-scientists-dynamic-oxidation-state-single-atom.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Scientists propose a dynamic charge and oxidation state for single-atom catalysts<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pollutants coming out of cars&#8217; exhausts are harmful to the environment and public health.
