Illuminating Chemistry
Revolutionizing chemical manufacturing through Adaptive Photocatalysis
About
CataLum was originated to realize the transformational potential of the
groundbreaking photocatalysis research of green chemistry pioneer, 
McGill University Professor Chao-Jun Li. 
CataLum’s mission is to elucidate, validate, scale up, optimize and 
commercialize photocatalysis based chemical manufacturing processes to 
resolve the industry’s triple challenge of decarbonization, circularity and toxicity.
Breakthrough Adaptive Photocatalysis
CataLum harnesses the agility and 
versatility of semiconductor based 
photocatalysts to enable a diverse 
range of novel, safe, clean and green 
reactions that operate at ambient 
pressures and temperatures with 
light as their main energy source.
