This CRADA will facilitate technology maturation for NREL-developed atomic layer deposition (ALD) coated catalyst materials that are tailored for durability during the oxidative production of biobased chemicals. This project will address optimizing process parameters for scaling aluminum oxide (Al2O3) ALD coated catalysts, demonstrating ALD coated catalyst performance for biomass oxidation, and validating economic models that project significant cost benefits for ALD-enhanced catalytic processes. This work will strengthen private-public partnerships in the area of advanced catalyst manufacturing for energy-related technology. Critical information will be collected to elevate the Technology Readiness Level and increase our competitiveness for cooperative R&D agreements and licensing. Success of this work will be crosscutting as it can facilitate advanced catalyst development for both renewable and conventional processes.
