Develop fundamental surface science characterization data for use in improving mixed alcohol synthesis catalysts,


EMSL Project ID
28790

Abstract

This project will develop basic information about the surace and bulk nature of various mixed alcohol synthesis catalysts in succsive states, oxide, reduced and used. This information will combine with performance data and computational - molecular modelling to design improved catalysts.
