The Sabatier principle, which states that the binding energy between the catalyst and the
reactant should be neither too strong nor too weak, has been widely used as the key …

Owing to their molecular building blocks, yet highly crystalline nature, metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) sit at the interface between molecule and material. Their diverse …

Computational chemistry provides a versatile toolbox for studying mechanistic details of
catalytic reactions and holds promise to deliver practical strategies to enable the rational in …

“Indeed, the catalytic activity, for a valid comparison, must be referred to the number of
exposed surface atoms of a specified kind. Thus a convenient way to express catalytic …

To move from fossil-based energy resources to a society based on renewables, electrode
materials free of precious noble metals are required to efficiently catalyze electrochemical …

Catalyst discovery is increasingly relying on computational chemistry, and many of the
computational tools are currently being automated. The state of this automation and the …
