Catalysis on the move

Recent years have witnessed an expansion in the use of catalytic processes beyond chemical labs, together with the emergence of improved catalysts, methodologies and reactors for more standard applications. To share and discuss these advances, the 2nd International Conference on Unconventional Catalysis, Reactors & Applications (UCRA-2), held in Leamington Spa, UK in September 2022, brought together the very best research and innovation in catalysis, chemical engineering, and their applications. Surrounded by beautiful views of the Warwickshire countryside, old friends and colleagues enjoyed a rich scientific programme that covered from the synthesis of unconventional catalysts and manufacturing methods, to photo/electro/plasma-activated catalysts and processes, and catalysis in unconventional environments such as living human cells.
