Title: From First Principles Design to Realization of Bimetallic Catalysts for Enhanced Selectivity

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1127071· OSTI ID:1127071

“Catalysis by design” has been a dream for decades. To specify the composition and structure of matter to effect a desired catalytic transformation with desired and predicted rate and selectivity remains a monumental challenge, especially in heterogeneous catalysis. Our research thrusts have been chosen not only for their practical and scientific relevance, e.g. for more efficient and sustainable chemicals and fuels production, but also because they provide a foundation for developing and exploring broadly applicable principles and strategies for catalyst design.
