Driving the Transformation to Digital Catalysis

This invited Team Profile was created by a group of scientists working on concepts for research data management in catalysis in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the Fritz-Haber-Institut (FHI) der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft in Berlin. They recently published an article about their views on the ongoing digital transformation in catalysis research, in which the structure and current status of catalysis data are analyzed to highlight the benefits of FAIR data. Considering the fundamental aspects of catalysis as a kinetic phenomenon, they discuss how working methods should change to achieve a deeper understanding of the physical principles governing catalysis and discover new catalysts. “Achieving Digital Catalysis: Strategies for Data Acquisition, Storage and Use”, C.
