Green catalysis has numerous applications in various industries:
- Pharmaceuticals: Green catalysts are used to synthesize active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with high selectivity and yield, often reducing the number of synthetic steps required. - Agrochemicals: Catalysts help in the production of pesticides and fertilizers in a more sustainable manner. - Polymer Industry: Green catalytic processes are used to create biodegradable polymers and recycle existing plastics. - Energy Sector: Catalysts play a crucial role in the production of biofuels and the development of fuel cells.
