Scientists discover a hidden factor that can make or break chemical reactions
Researchers discovered a hidden factor that can determine whether chemical reactions succeed or fail, and then used it to boost the proportion of the desired product from 16% to 97%. By controlling acidity near electrodes, they developed a promising way to manufacture chemicals for plastics, medicines, and other products using oxygen and electricity instead of hazardous added oxidants.
