Programmable Catalysts: A New Strategy for Accelerating Catalyst Performance
Catalysts play a vital role in speeding up reactions by reducing the energy input required for chemical transformations. In fact, approximately 90% of industrially produced chemicals rely on catalysts at some stage of their production. Take ammonia and hydrogen, for example, both crucial for the clean energy future. These two molecules can store intermittent energy sources, like wind or solar energy, in the form of chemical bonds. They can also be conveniently transported as liquids like the…
