Catalysis in Industry and Sustainability

Catalysis is a major part of modern technology. It helps chemical reactions happen by lowering activation energy, which is the energy needed to start a reaction. Catalysts can also affect selectivity, or which products form during a reaction.

Catalysts are substances that are added to chemical systems to enable chemical reactions to occur faster, using less energy.

The minimum amount of energy required to initiate a reaction is called the activation energy. Catalysts provide an alternate reaction pathway with a lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to take place under ...
