Catalysis is at the forefront of efforts to achieve sustainability in chemical processes. Green catalysis focuses on reducing the environmental impact of chemical reactions by using non-toxic solvents, renewable feedstocks, and energy-efficient conditions.
One notable area is the development of photocatalysts and electrocatalysts for renewable energy applications. For example, catalysts for water splitting can produce hydrogen fuel, a clean energy source. Similarly, catalysts for CO2 reduction can convert greenhouse gases into valuable chemicals, addressing both energy and environmental challenges.
