AI Summary

Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria’s Pieber Lab are testing a new light‑driven nickel catalyst that could make industrial chemical reactions more efficient and sustainable. The catalyst is activated by blue LED lamps that shine through a glass wall onto small reaction vessels. By using less nickel, the process promises to reduce metal waste and lower production costs for pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and agrochemicals. The team is evaluating the catalyst’s performance in typical industrial reactions, aiming to demonstrate its practicality for large‑scale synthesis.
