Several types of institutions are involved in catalysis research and application:
1. Universities: Many universities have dedicated catalysis research groups or departments. Examples include Stanford University, MIT, and the University of Cambridge. 2. National Laboratories: Government-funded labs such as the Argonne National Laboratory and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion are leaders in catalysis research. 3. Research Institutes: Independent research organizations like the Catalysis Research Center at Hokkaido University and the Cardiff Catalysis Institute focus exclusively on catalytic science. 4. Industrial Research Centers: Companies like BASF, Dow Chemical, and ExxonMobil have internal research groups dedicated to catalysis.
