Catalysis is undergoing a major transition resulting from significant changes in chemical and energy production. To honor the 50th anniversary of establishing the Jerzy Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry, this Essay discusses, from a forward-looking, personal and somewhat provocative perspective, the needs and gaps of catalysis to address the ongoing transition in chemistry and energy from a sustainability perspective. The focus is on a few selected aspects identified as crucial: i)The precise synthesis of catalytic materials, particularly focusing on mesoporous molecular sieves, metal-organic frameworks, and zeolites (particularly two-dimensional type), ii)advanced catalyst characterization methods, iii)new concepts and approaches needed in catalysis to meet the demands of a field of energy and chemistry in transition.
