The Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT) is a research institute of the Leibniz Association based in Rostock, Germany, dedicated to advancing catalysis for chemical synthesis and process technology. Its work spans homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, as well as photo- and electrocatalysis and biocatalysis.
LIKAT combines fundamental research with application-oriented development to create efficient, selective, and sustainable catalytic routes for the production of bulk and fine chemicals, materials precursors, and energy-related molecules. The institute collaborates with academic and industrial partners and offers facilities for catalyst discovery, mechanistic studies, and process development, supporting the translation of catalytic innovations into industrial practice.
