Project Description

 

 

Project Description:

The overall goal of this research is to provide a greater predictive capability for the design of visible light-photosynthesis catalysts by a deeper understanding of the reaction kinetics and mechanism; as well as by better control of the coordination/chemical environment of active sites.  The proposed work will study the reactivity of adsorbates; their role in the photosynthesis reaction; and their relation to the nature of surface sites during photosynthesis of methanol and hydrocarbons from CO2/H20 over three types of catalysts (ion-exchanged metal cations; highly dispersed cations; and monolayer sites).
