Daily vitamins and cancer drugs, plastics and hygiene products, stationary and mobile exhaust treatments, fuel production, etc. – there is virtually no aspect of tangible life that would be possible without catalysts. A “good” catalyst implies that a technology is enabled at the lowest possible energy consumption and waste generation. Single elements are rarely efficient enough, and the world of catalysis relies heavily on the use of promoters – other elements or substances that boost the catalytic action. Scientists all over the world strive to find new combinations from across the periodic table to improve the existing catalysts or design new ones for emerging technologies.

日常维生素和抗癌药物、塑料和卫生产品、固定和移动废气处理、燃料生产等--几乎没有任何有形生活的方面如果没有催化剂是可能的。“好的”催化剂意味着一项技术能够以尽可能低的能源消耗和废物产生。单一的元素很少有足够的效率，而催化领域严重依赖于促进剂的使用--其他元素或物质可以促进催化作用。世界各地的科学家都在努力从整个元素周期表中寻找新的组合，以改进现有的催化剂或为新兴技术设计新的催化剂。
