Catalysis is central in living systems as well as industrial processes. The course covers the basic principles of catalysis, including kinetics and mechanistic models, the design of electrocatalytic materials, surface properties and functions in heterogeneous catalysis, and the reactivity of coordination compounds. Representative examples will be collected from heterogeneous-, homogenous- and bio-catalysis of relevance to renewable energy.
