What Areas of Catalysis Does the Institute Focus On?
The FHI covers a broad spectrum of catalysis research, including:
- Heterogeneous Catalysis: This involves the study of catalysts in different phases, typically solid catalysts interacting with gaseous or liquid reactants. - Surface Science: Understanding the interaction of molecules with surfaces is crucial for developing more effective catalysts. - Theoretical Catalysis: Computational methods and simulations are used to predict catalytic behavior and design new catalysts. - Electrocatalysis: This area focuses on catalysts that facilitate electrochemical reactions, which are vital for energy conversion technologies like fuel cells.
