Public lecture presented by Jerry LaRue
Catalysts are the unsung heroes of chemistry: Widely used in industry, they speed up chemical reactions used to make everything from fertilizers to fuels to consumer products, and they do this by making those reactions much more efficient. This talk describes how we assemble a picture of these chemical reactions in motion. This detailed understanding will help us design more efficient catalysts to meet our energy needs.
