We develop new metal-free catalysts to contribute to the fields of sustainable synthesis and hydrogen storage, both of which play a critical role in the urgent need to achieve a sustainable society. An essential aspect of our research are quantum mechanical computations, which guide and complement our synthetic and experimental work.
