Several scientists have made remarkable contributions to the field of catalysis and have been honored with prestigious awards:
Gerhard Ertl: Awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2007 for his studies of chemical processes on solid surfaces, which are fundamental to the understanding of catalytic reactions. Ahmed Zewail: Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1999 for his pioneering work on femtochemistry, including the study of catalytic processes on ultra-fast timescales. Jean-Marie Lehn: Shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1987 for the development of supramolecular chemistry, which has significant implications for catalysis.
