Emerging Technologies in Catalyst Research

The discovery of new technologies to potentially improve catalystCatalyst efficiencyEfficiency is seen as an emerging approach. The currentCurrent chapter deals with the barriers that are being faced during advancing of different catalystsCatalyst. Various strategies have been developed over the past few decades to overcome shortcomings such as costCost inefficacy, instability due to moistureMoisture, salty environmentEnvironment and reduced work efficiencyEfficiency in heterogeneousHeterogeneous condition. Extensive research is being carried out to find cheap and environmentally friendlyEnvironmentally friendly renewableRenewable resources for the development of catalystsCatalyst for different reactionsReaction. This chapter focuses on photocatalysisPhotocatalysis, electrocatalysisElectrocatalysis, and recent advances in biocatalysis. These techniques are employed due to their cost effectivenessCost effectiveness and efficiencyEfficiency. So, we have detailed here working condition and mechanismMechanism of these techniques. Biocatalysis is described here in detail due to its green nature as emerging science is stressing upon green synthesisSynthesis and catalystsCatalyst.
