Overview
As part of the Chemistry (PhD/MPhil) programme from Cardiff University, students can conduct their research within this Catalysis in the Cardiff Catalysis Institute.
Catalysis lies at the heart of many chemical processes, from the academic research lab through living systems to the industrial large-scale reactor. By understanding and careful use of catalysis many processes can be made faster, cleaner and more sustainable.
Distinctive features
- We are the largest research grouping in catalysis in the UK
- Our research activities cover most areas of catalysis
- We are one of the founder members of the UK Catalysis Hub.
