Develop fundamental surface science characterization data for use in improving mixed alcohol
synthesis catalysts
EMSL Project ID
33194
Abstract
This project will develop basic information about the surface 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.
