About this collection
We are delighted to share with you a selection of the papers which will be presented at our Faraday Discussions on Catalysis for Fuels taking place in Cape Town, South Africa in January 2017. More information about the event may be found here: http://rsc.li/fuels-fd2017. Additional articles will be added to the collection as they are published. The final versions of all the articles presented and record of the live discussions will be published after the event.
Catalysis for fuels is a major theme in chemical sciences and engineering that underlies much of the key research and teaching in these subjects. It therefore presents a unifying theme around which one can bring the whole community together to act with one purpose. We will explore the modern methods being used to design and investigate new catalysts associated with energy provision. This will involve new theoretical approaches to complex catalysis; designing new catalysts for the synthesis of synthetic fuels; the design of new photocatalytic systems and how the approaches can bridge across the disciplines of physical sciences and chemical engineering.
