Catalysis is a process by which a catalyst dramatically improves the rate and selectivity of a chemical reaction. More than 90% of all processes in the chemical industry rely on catalysis, allowing for the manufacture of products in energy efficient and environmentally benign ways. Understanding how catalysts work in minute detail is key to the development of new and improved catalysts. The application of catalysis to problems in solar energy capture and storage is one of the fields biggest scientific challenges. This CRC will develop catalysts capable of harnessing sunlight and using it to catalytically generate carbon free fuels.

催化作用是催化剂显著提高化学反应速率和选择性的过程。化学工业中90%以上的过程都依赖于催化，从而以节能和环保的方式生产产品。了解催化剂如何工作的细节是开发新的和改进的催化剂的关键。应用催化技术解决太阳能捕获和储存问题是该领域最大的科学挑战之一。该中心将开发能够利用阳光的催化剂，并利用它催化产生无碳燃料。
