Electricity production from solar and wind isbecoming economicallycompetitive but we need to be able to store energy from these intermittent sources. Storagein the form of chemical bonds as fuels is very attractive, but converting electrical intochemical energy efficiently will require completelynew catalytic materials. Insight into theway the catalysts work at the molecular level may prove essential to speed up the discoveryprocess. The lecture will outline a theory of heterogeneous catalysis that singles out themost important parameters determining catalytic activity and selectivity. I will use nitrogenreduction to ammonia as the main example and discuss the possibility to find sustainablealternatives to the well-known Haber-Bosch process.
