Funded Activity Summary
Carbon-based Metal-free Catalysis: An Emerging Field with Great Potential. Catalysis is a major field and noble metal catalysts play a key role in renewable energy technologies, chemical and environmental processes. However, the scarcity and high cost of noble metals have caused sustainability problems. Since this Laureate applicant discovered the first metal-free carbon catalyst for energy, carbon-based metal-free catalysis rapidly became a promising emerging field, but many scientific questions remain unsolved. In this program, innovative approaches will be developed to produce never-before-realized catalytic active centres of a controlled location and structure for mechanistic understanding to enable future breakthroughs in metal-free catalysis and a broad range of technology with far ranging applications.Funded Activity Details
