Episode 61: Catalysis at the Toyota Research Institute

We partnered with the Toyota Research Institute to take a dive into the science behind catalysis with researcher Joseph Montoya. Learn how catalytic converters drastically change the makeup of your car's exhaust and help create cleaner air for us all.   Articles:   The tough calculus of emissions and the future of EVs   MOF-derived carbonaceous materials enriched with nitrogen: Preparation and applications in adsorption and catalysis Single atom is not alone: Metal–support interactions in single-atom catalysis   This episode is sponsored by Toyota Research Institutes.
