Faculty experts in catalysis often specialize in several key areas, including:
Heterogeneous Catalysis: The use of solid catalysts to facilitate reactions in the gas or liquid phase. Homogeneous Catalysis: The use of soluble catalysts in the same phase as the reactants. Biocatalysis: The use of natural catalysts, such as protein enzymes, to conduct chemical reactions. Photocatalysis: The acceleration of a photoreaction in the presence of a catalyst. Electrocatalysis: The study of catalysts involved in electrochemical reactions.
