Abstracts

The 9th Tokyo Conference on Advanced Catalytic Science andTechnology (TOCAT9) will be held from July 24 to 29, 2022 inFukuoka, Japan, under organization of the Catalysis Society ofJapan (CATSJ). CATSJ will organize this meeting as acontinuation of TOCAT (1990), TOCAT2 (1994), TOCAT3(1998), TOCAT4 (2002), TOCAT5 (2006) TOCAT6/APCAT5(2010), TOCAT7 (2014), and TOCAT8 (2018). The past eight
TOCAT conferences have earned a good reputation as a newseries of international conferences on catalysis that has
significantly filled the gap between research and technology incatalysis.

The scientific program will consist of plenary lectures foroverall sessions, keynote lectures for parallel sessions,contributed oral presentations for each session and posters.
Plenary lectures are listed below.

Those who wish to present a paper in the sessions are requested
to submit an abstract (A4 size, 2 pages). The format of theabstracts is shown on our website (https://tocat.catsj.jp/9).
Desirable mode of presentation (oral or poster) should beselected at the abstract submission on the website. Selection ofpaper and the mode of presentation will be decided by theOrganizing Committee based on the abstracts. The abstracts will
be delivered in a USB flash drive. The abstracts must bereceived on our website by October 31, 2021. Notice ofacceptance will be sent by the Organizing Committee to theauthors by February 28, 2022. The detailed information of thesubmission will be announced on the website.

Scope of the Conference
Stimulating closer ties between academia and industry andencouraging young researchers in the field of catalysis are thecentral concept of this conference. This conference shouldgreatly contribute to exchanging new ideas and technologies andpromoting developments of new outstanding catalysts andsystems under the scope that catalysis is a highly and eagerly
demanded technology in industries and for sustainable society
and drives innovation in many other fields.
Papers on the following topics are welcome.
General session
