Synthesis, Characterization, and Catalytic Activity of Porous Metal Oxides

Primary PI: Steven L. Suib

Our research involves the synthesis of new porous materials used in catalysis and adsorption. the types of catalytic reactions that we study are selective oxidations with a focus on small molecules like methane ad carbon dioxide. We are interested in environmental aspects of catalysts, using green reagents and making clean valuable products. This work involves synthesis of new materials, full characterization, and catalysis experiments. Sponsored projects are with NSF, DOE, ExxonMobil, and others.
