What Are the Main Areas of Focus in Catalysis Research?
Corporate research centers focus on various aspects of catalysis, including: - Homogeneous Catalysis: Studying catalysts that are in the same phase as the reactants, typically in solution. - Heterogeneous Catalysis: Investigating catalysts that are in a different phase from the reactants, often solids interacting with gases or liquids. - Biocatalysis: Utilizing biological molecules, such as enzymes, to accelerate chemical reactions. - Photocatalysis: Exploring catalysts that can harness light energy to drive chemical processes.
