Researchers watch a live catalytic event in real time New observations could lead to more efficient catalysts for green hydrogen production.

Observing reactions in this manner helps scientists understand how catalysts work.

The observations were made possible by single-molecule atomic-resolution time-resolved electron microscopy.

Researchers used SMART-EM to study how a single-site heterogeneous catalyst facilitated the conversion of ethanol into hydrogen gas.

They found the aldehydes linked together to form short-chain polymers -- a previously unknown step that appeared to drive the overall reaction.

The study was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy .
