What Are the Future Directions in Catalyst Research?
The future of catalyst research is poised for exciting developments:
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Integrating AI and ML can accelerate the discovery and optimization of new catalysts by predicting their performance and identifying promising candidates faster than traditional methods.
- Sustainable Catalysis: There is a growing emphasis on developing [sustainable catalysts](https://) that use earth-abundant materials and renewable resources, thereby reducing reliance on precious metals and minimizing environmental impact.
- Bio-inspired Catalysis: Mimicking natural catalytic processes seen in enzymes and biological systems can lead to the development of highly efficient and selective synthetic catalysts.
