Research areas supported by YIPs in Catalysis can be broad and may include: - Homogeneous Catalysis: Studies on catalysts that operate in the same phase as the reactants. - Heterogeneous Catalysis: Research on catalysts in a different phase than the reactants. - Biocatalysis: Use of natural catalysts, like enzymes, to accelerate chemical reactions. - Photocatalysis: Catalysis driven by light energy. - Electrocatalysis: Catalytic processes driven by electrical energy.
