Catalysts play a crucial role in governing chemical and biochemical processes by selectively accelerating reaction rates. These substances make numerous vital industrial procedures and biological conversions possible, which would otherwise be impractical. Catalysts not only significantly reduce the energy requirements for specific chemical reactions but also enable targeted decomposition of environmental pollutants, contributing substantially to sustainable solutions for societal, economic, and industrial progress. At UBC, multiple research teams are dedicated to studying existing catalytic mechanisms, improving current catalytic methods, and discovering novel chemical transformations made achievable through catalysis.
