Catalytic systems for the energy transition - New insights into the catalyst, the phase behavior, the reaction and the entire process through operando techniques

Catalysis emerges as a crucial technology in shaping a sustainable future, by making it possible to store, distribute and use electricity from renewable sources in chemical energy carriers and products. In addressing the challenges posed by variable electricity supply and diverse chemical feedstocks, adaptability is gaining increasing significance as a parameter for advancing next-generation catalytic systems. The MPI for Chemical Energy Conversion is dedicated to exploring novel methods in designing and creating adaptive catalytic systems, with a specific emphasis on hydrogen activation.
