From toxicology to electrocatalysis: Using (Q)SAR and international policies to accelerate clean technology innovation

Green hydrogen is expected to play a central role in the transition to clean energy, but producing it efficiently requires the discovery of better catalysts. To help speed up this search, a team of researchers has introduced an innovative predictive framework that brings together for the first time catalyst science and quantitative structure-activity relationship ((Q)SAR) methodologies, a powerful approach widely used in fields such as toxicology, environmental science and drug development.
