New research inspired by the intricate structure of butterfly wings has led to a method for fine-tuning catalytic reactions, enhancing selectivity and efficiency in chemical production. This breakthrough underscores the potential for bioinspired designs to drive industrial innovation. Credit: SciTechDaily.comResearchers from the Harvard John A.
“Many industrially-relevant chemical reactions follow a cascade whereby chemical A is turned to chemical B which can then be turned into chemical C and so forth,” said Kang Rui Garrick Lim, a graduate student in the Aizenberg Lab and first author of the study. “In some catalytic processes, the intermediate chemical, chemical B, is the goal, while in others it is the end product, chemical C. The selectivity of the catalyst refers to whether it favors the production of chemical B or chemical C.
Currently, to make the more useful benzyl alcohol, the catalytic hydrogenation reaction is slowed down, or not run to completion, to ensure that the reaction will stop at B and form as little toluene as possible.
