Nature Catalysis
This journal brings together researchers from across all chemistry and related fields, publishing work on homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, and biocatalysts, incorporating both fundamental and applied studies.
With growing interest in the upgrade of CO2 to valuable chemicals, the present-day problem of low carbon utilization – the result of carbonate formation – is attracting ever-increasing attention. We develop a new electrocatalyst that works well in acid, improving the activity in CO2RR.
Engineering ketoreductases for a new-to-nature photobiotransformation
Engineering enzymes with new-to-nature reactivity remains a great challenge in biocatalysis. Combining the merits of biocatalysis and photocatalysis represents a powerful approach to address this challenge.
Chemicals from CO2 + green electricity: The electrified synthesis of ethylene oxide
We devise a new, record-efficient, system for the electrified synthesis of ethylene oxide from CO2. We do so by developing a new electrocatalyst that significantly increases the system’s selectivity towards the production of ethylene oxide, with a faradaic efficiency of 35%.
