Mobility in the modern world relies on heterogeneous catalysis [...]

The subject of catalysis by coinage metals (copper, silver, and gold) comes up increasingly day-by-day. This Special Issue aims to cover the numerous aspects of the use of these metals as catalysts for several reactions. It deals with synthesis and characterization of copper, silver and gold based catalysis, their characterization and use, both for heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, and s...

Neil M. Schweitzer, Robert Rioux and Rajamani Gounder are the organisers of a series workshops on rigour reproducibility (R&R) in heterogeneous thermal catalysis. Here, they share with Nature Catalysis their views this cornerstone science discuss opportunities to cultivate best practice.

Staff Sheehan is a co-founder and the Chief Technology Officer at Air Company, Brooklyn-based startup that uses heterogeneous catalysis to transform CO2 into value-added products. Here, talking Nature Catalysis, he takes us on journey from vodka hand sanitizer outer space.

Catalysis is involved in around 85 % of manufacturing industry and contributes an estimated 25 to the global domestic product, with majority processes relying on heterogeneous catalysis. Despite importance different segments, fundamental understanding heterogeneously catalysed lags substantially behind that achieved other fields. The newly established Max Planck–Cardiff Centre Fundamentals Hete...
