A molecular catalyst for storing energy in systems Azul Energy in Japan has created metal-free catalytic technology through renewable energy for energy storage. What it really boils down to is a special substance that helps speed up chemical reactions without using rare metals.

A molecular catalyst for storing energy in systems Azul Energy in Japan has created metal-free catalytic technology through renewable energy for energy storage. What it really boils down to is a special substance that helps speed up chemical reactions without using rare metals. It's inspired by a part of hemoglobin, the protein in our blood that carries oxygen. Just like hemoglobin can do a variety of important tasks, the AZUL catalyst can do things like detect and move small gas molecules, help with chemical reactions, and transfer electrons.
