The expected increase in knowledge should enable the efficient operation of catalytic processes under dynamic reaction conditions. Its basic understanding will be developed using the example of reactions to energy storage and conversion (Fig. 1) and creates the basis for future technical applications. It is characteristic for all investigated systems that the dynamics are systematically imposed from the outside in the time domain between seconds and days, either because the applied dynamics can only be avoided with great effort (e.g. fluctuating supply of electrical energy), or because justified advantages for space-time yields or selectivities of the catalytic reactions are expected from the dynamic operation. The expected increase in knowledge is also interesting for other areas such as exhaust gas catalysis, selective oxidations, fuel cells, batteries or photocatalysis. However, these applications, as well as purely physico-chemical studies, are not the focus of this SPP.
