Projects

In situ Solid-State NMR Study of Biomass Conversion in Porous Catalysts

Lead Institution
University of California, Santa Barbara
Principal Investigator
Susannah Scott
Project type
Exploratory Research
Biomass represents a renewable and potentially carbon-neutral alternative to fossil fuels for the production of carbon-based chemicals and fuels. Although efficient heterogeneous catalysis is vital…

High Resolution Electron Microscopy Study of Chlorinated gamma-Al2O3

Lead Institution
University of California, Santa Barbara
Principal Investigator
Susannah Scott
Project type
Exploratory Research
Chlorination profoundly alters the surface chemistry of gamma-alumina, and consequently its catalytic properties. Such materials are of high interest in energy conversion, notably hydrocarbon…

Operando spectroscopic studies of solvo-catalytic lignin disassembly

Lead Institution
University of California, Santa Barbara
Principal Investigator
Susannah Scott
Project type
Exploratory Research
Lignocellulosic biomass represents an abundant and renewable resource that could displace a significant amount of the nation’s petroleum, but its widespread utilization will require the development…

Advanced Molecular Characterization of Solvo-Catalytic Lignin Disassembly

Lead Institution
Washington University in St. Louis
Principal Investigator
Marcus Foston
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Lignin obtained from lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant, renewable, low-cost resource whose carbon-rich, aromatic composition makes it ideal to displace some petroleum-based feedstocks as…
