Multifunctional catalysts for decontamination and fuel cells. Final progress report, 26 September 1994--25 September 1998
This final report summarizes the many accomplishments of this grant including: (1) the development of versatile materials with catalytic activity for the effective decontamination of mustard (HD) analogs; (2) the development of effective catalytic HD decontamination catalysts that work using air (O{sub 2}); (3) the detailed investigation and elucidation of the mechanisms of such new catalytic systems including the mechanism for O{sub 2} activation by reduced polyoxometalate (POM) clusters; and (4) the characterization of relevant reduced polyoxometalates. These results coupled with the compatibility of these systems with existing decontamination technology augur well for development of utilitarian decontamination catalysts.
