Research in catalysis encompasses a wide range of topics, including:
Heterogeneous Catalysis: Study of solid catalysts and their role in industrial processes. Homogeneous Catalysis: Focus on catalysts in the same phase as the reactants, often in solution. Biocatalysis: Use of natural catalysts, such as enzymes, for chemical transformations. Photocatalysis: Catalysis driven by light, important for applications like solar energy conversion. Electrocatalysis: Study of catalysts in electrochemical reactions, crucial for fuel cells and batteries.
