What are the Key Areas of Catalysis Research Funded by Horizon 2020?
The Horizon 2020 program funds a variety of catalysis research areas, including:
Homogeneous catalysis: Developing catalysts that operate in the same phase as the reactants, often in solution. Heterogeneous catalysis: Creating solid catalysts that facilitate reactions in a different phase, typically gas or liquid. Enzyme catalysis: Utilizing biological molecules to accelerate chemical reactions, often with high specificity and under mild conditions. Photocatalysis: Harnessing light energy to drive chemical reactions, with applications in renewable energy and environmental cleanup. Electrocatalysis: Enabling reactions through the application of electrical energy, crucial for energy storage and conversion technologies.
