The use of solar and wind energy must be doubled to meet the world's demand for clean energy over the next 30 years. Catalysts that can ensure the storage of solar and wind energy in fuels and chemicals will therefore play an increasingly important role. The catalysts used today are, however, often expensive and ineffective. Now, researchers at the University of Copenhagen and DTU have developed a method that makes it easier to find better and cheaper catalysts. Their results are published in the journal Joule.
