The challenge in the 21st Century is to produce catalysts that provide 100% selectivity for catalyst based chemical processes. One important area is high temperature short contact time catalytic reactions. Polymerization is a most important reaction that produces what I consider the steel of the 21st Century: the formation of structural polymers. Another area of importance is environmental catalysis. The development of surface instrumentation to characterize the surface under reaction conditions is at the heart of the future development of catalysis science. |
