NanoLund Deputy Director Maria Messing and her research group at Lunds University use spark discharge generation to obtain more efficient and environmentally friendly processes in the manufacture of nano-sized catalysts.

Roughly 80 percent of all chemical products are manufactured using catalysts. The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) has made a movie with one of their Future Research Leaders, Maria Messing. She and her research group at Lund University use spark discharge generation to obtain more efficient and environmentally friendly processes in manufacturing nano-sized catalysts.
