Catalysis
Sustainable energy generation, storage, and the transition towards eco-friendly industrial processes are intricately linked to the advancement of efficient, innovative catalytic methods. Targeted exploration focuses on highly ordered porous materials as a foundation for tailored catalytic sites, designed to optimize both chemical energy storage and sustainable chemical production. Techniques aimed at controlling catalyst structures, along with nanoscale assembly and stabilization, introduce fundamentally new approaches to the sustainable synthesis of chemicals.
