How Do Digital Platforms Enhance Research and Development in Catalysis?
Digital platforms enhance research and development in catalysis by providing access to vast amounts of data and advanced computational tools. For instance, databases allow researchers to quickly find information on known catalysts and reaction mechanisms, saving time that would otherwise be spent on literature reviews. Simulation software enables the virtual testing of catalytic processes, which can identify promising catalysts and reaction conditions before any physical experiments are conducted. Collaborative networks connect researchers with similar interests, fostering the exchange of ideas and the formation of research partnerships. Educational resources help to disseminate knowledge and train the next generation of catalysis experts.
