Affordable catalysis technologies have a wide range of applications:
Environmental Catalysis - Catalysts are used for pollution control, such as in catalytic converters for automobiles and industrial scrubbers that reduce emissions of harmful gases. Energy Production - Affordable catalysts are essential for processes like water splitting to produce hydrogen, as well as in fuel cells and batteries. Chemical Synthesis - Catalysts are crucial for the efficient production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Reducing the cost of catalysts can significantly lower the overall production cost. Biomass Conversion - Catalysis plays a vital role in converting biomass into valuable fuels and chemicals, providing a renewable alternative to fossil resources.
