Final Analysis: Catalysis “After the Goldrush”

摘要

Cardiff University, UK, has recently been awarded European Union (EU) funding for a new programme entitled “After the Goldrush” (1). This programme aims to explore the implications of discoveries made over the last 25 years of intensive research into catalysis by gold and so accelerate the discovery and development of other catalytic materials such as those based on platinum group metals (pgms), which may hold the key to solving many of the pressing challenges facing us now and in the future.
