Chemical building blocks self-assemble like Lego’s into catalyst

What’s better than platinum? In hydrogen fuel cells, the answer is cofacial cobalt porphyrins. It’s a mouthful to say, and if you’re not a chemist, you’ve probably never heard of these compounds before. But these molecules—which are great at facilitating a chemical reaction that’s needed to produce power from hydrogen and oxygen—could be the next … Continue reading Chemical building blocks self-assemble like Lego’s into catalyst
