More than 95% by volume of all products are synthesized by means of catalysis, and as we are entering a world transitioning to alternative energy resources, the key to sustainable development will be to enable such transformations. Catalysts dramatically reduce energy requirements by enabling processes on practical time scales (seconds versus hundreds of years) and they allow target productions with significantly reduced waste generation. Ideally, a catalyst lifetime in a production line should be infinite, but catalysts suffer from deactivation and require frequent replacements. Many of them contain expensive noble metals, and the deactivation compromises economic benefits and increases energy consumption.

超过 95% 的产品是通过催化合成的，随着我们正在进入一个向替代能源过渡的世界，可持续发展的关键将是实现这种转变。催化剂通过在实际时间尺度（几秒而不是数百年）内实现过程来显着降低能源需求，并且它们可以在显着减少废物产生的情况下实现目标生产。理想情况下，生产线中的催化剂寿命应该是无限的，但催化剂会失活并需要频繁更换。其中许多含有昂贵的贵金属，失活会损害经济效益并增加能源消耗。
