Several areas within catalysis require substantial funding:
1. Fundamental Research: This includes the study of reaction mechanisms, catalyst design, and the synthesis of novel catalytic materials. 2. Applied Research: Focuses on the practical application of catalytic processes in industrial settings. 3. Instrumentation: The development and maintenance of advanced analytical instruments necessary for characterizing catalysts and catalytic processes. 4. Human Resources: Funding for researchers, technicians, and students involved in catalysis research. 5. Collaboration: Supports partnerships between academia, industry, and government agencies.
