Nanocatalyst makes heavy work of formic acid

Sep 25, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Hydrogen occurs in nature as H2 molecules; however when deuterium isotopes--so called "heavy hydrogen"--are introduced, the result can be deuterium hydride (HD) or deuterium gas (D2). These compounds are useful starting materials in fine chemical production; however, the natural abundance of these gases is low...
