| Popis: | Summary To keep up with the fast-paced transitioning of the global energy sector, which is constantly thriving to enable reliable, economic, and sustainable energy production, catalysis research has been required to continuously evolve in response. The challenges in the existing systems are predominantly due to dependencies on heterogeneous solid catalysts that are susceptible to coking. In this respect, liquid-metal (LM) catalysts have been demonstrated to have a critical advantage over conventional catalysts. Recently, LMs acquired a place in catalysis, with a reputation often synonymous with interesting properties and a remarkable ability to break trade-offs between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. This review bridges the fundamental principles of LM research and the recent advances in LM-based thermal and electrochemical catalysis for energy applications. Moreover, emerging approaches for the improved utilization of LMs are outlined, and the concepts requiring greater research attention that could enable the development of exciting energy solutions are highlighted. |
