报告摘要：
The chemical industry should in the future be based on renewable energy. Therefore, material development for environmentally friendly, electrocatalytic production of valuable chemicals is needed.
Chemicals could be produced using safe, cheap, more environmentally friendly and more abundant reactants than today. The products could be provided on demand at the place where they are needed, reducing expensive and hazardous transport of chemicals. However, stable, efficient and selective catalysts have to be discovered. This requires insight into the surface chemistry at the atomic scale.
The challenge of discovering new catalyst materials is twofold: Firstly, the properties or descriptors of the wanted catalyst have to be identified. Secondly, real materials with the wanted properties should be found.
I will give examples of determining descriptors for different reactions and a method for identify promising catalyst materials based on high entropy alloy, which is a new class of materials with the promise to change the way we discover interesting catalyst materials.
