Catalysis projects can be broadly categorized into several key areas:
Development of New Catalysts: This involves synthesizing novel catalysts with improved activity, selectivity, and stability. Optimization of Catalytic Processes: Enhancing existing catalytic processes for better efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Catalyst Characterization: Studying the physical and chemical properties of catalysts to understand their performance. Environmental Catalysis: Developing catalysts for pollution control, such as catalytic converters for automobiles. Biocatalysis: Using natural catalysts, such as enzymes, for industrial applications.
