Principal Investigator

Abhaya Datye

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Pd/ZnO has been shown in recent years to possess high selectivity towards CO2 during methanol steam reforming. It was first proposed that PdZn alloy formation is essential to achieve high selectivity…

Exploratory Research

The main objective of this research project is to develop non-PGM multimetallic catalysts for electro-oxidation of ethanol in Alkaline media, and to understand the contributions of different…

Formation, Stability, and Reactivity of atomically dispersed transition metals stabilized on oxide supports

Lead Institution

University of New Mexico

Principal Investigator

Abhaya Datye

Project type

Exploratory Research

In the course of our previous studies, we learned that the support may be modified during reaction especially after elevated temperature treatments due to the incorporation of atomically dispersed…
