BNL is a hub for advanced catalysis research, leveraging state-of-the-art facilities and collaborations with other institutions. Research at BNL covers various aspects of catalysis, including:
1. Heterogeneous Catalysis: Investigating solid catalysts and their interactions with gaseous or liquid reactants. 2. Homogeneous Catalysis: Studying catalysts that operate in the same phase as the reactants, typically in solution. 3. Enzyme Catalysis: Exploring natural biocatalysts to understand and exploit their efficiency and specificity. 4. Photocatalysis: Using light to drive catalytic reactions, crucial for renewable energy applications like solar fuels.
