Magnetic catalysis represents a highly promising and emerging strategy that exploits magnetically active materials to trigger or enhance catalytic processes. The application of external magnetic fields enables not only the rapid recovery of catalysts but also spin-dependent interactions or selective control of reactions through local heating effects, typically achieved via magnetic induction heating. Unlike conventional approaches, the latter method enables localized and selective energy transfer. Such “self-heating” catalysts allow rapid activation, improved energy efficiency, and precise temporal control of reaction conditions. This methodology is particularly attractive for sustainable processes, including green chemistry, environmental remediation, and energy conversion, where minimizing energy consumption and maximizing catalytic performance are key goals.
