Project Focus:
Improve the understanding of mechanisms limiting catalyst
performance in order to reduce the time and cost involved
in new catalyst development. Studies performed primarily
using DRIFTS and Chemisorption measurements of industrially
supplied catalyst samples in an effort to gain a fundamental
understanding of basic catalytic measurements including
adsorption, reduction, poisoning, and the role of micro-scale
morphology.
