Catalysis

12 articles · Chemistry, Physics · Wikipedia

Catalysis is a process where a substance called a catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed or permanently changed itself. Think of a catalyst as a helpful middleman that makes it easier for chemicals to transform into new products, like an enzyme in your body that helps digest food or a converter in a car that reduces harmful emissions. Because catalysts aren't used up, they can be reused over and over again, making them incredibly valuable for manufacturing medicines, plastics, and fuels efficiently and affordably.
