Abstract:
Numerous redox transformations that are essential to life are catalyzed
by metalloenzymes that feature Earth-abundant metals. In contrast, platinum-group metals have been the cornerstone of many industrial catalytic
reactions for decades, providing high activity, thermal stability, and tolerance to chemical poisons. We assert that nature’s blueprint provides
the fundamental principles for vastly expanding the use of abundant metals in catalysis. We highlight the key physical properties of abundant metals
that distinguish them from precious metals, and we look to nature to understand how the inherent attributes of abundant metals can be embraced to
produce highly efficient catalysts for reactions crucial to the sustainable production and transformation of fuels and chemicals.
