Chemical reactivity at complex solid/liquid interfaces for environmental and energy processes
EMSL Project ID
50541
Abstract
Modeling of the selective electrochemical hydrogenation for upgraded bio-oil at complex solid/liquid interface is important for a fundamental understanding and prediction of elctrocatalytic reactivity at the interfaces. In this proposal we will build a theory model which include explicit atomic representation of the multicomponent liquid phase and electrode support under an applied bias. This model will provide us unprecedented understanding of catalytic reactivity at solid/liquid interfaces relevant to energy and environmental process. The current proposal provide necessary CPU time needed to perform ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of hydrogenation of organics at metal surfaces which allows us to complete our model and compare with concurrent experiments.
