A multi-modal transformer for predicting global minimum adsorption energy

The fast assessment of the global minimum adsorption energy (GMAE) between catalyst surfaces and adsorbates is crucial for large-scale catalyst screening. However, multiple adsorption sites and numerous possible adsorption configurations for each surface/a ...

N2O Decomposition over Fe-ZSM-5: A Systematic Study in the Generation of Active Sites

Lioubov Kiwi, Bryan Bromley

We have carried out a systematic investigation of the critical activation parameters (i.e., final temperature (673-1273 K), atmosphere (He vs. O-2/He), and final isothermal hold (1 min-15 h) on the generation of "alpha-sites", responsible for the direct N2 ...

State-to-state methane-surface scattering as a probe of catalytic activity

Rainer Beck, Maarten Eduard van Reijzen, Jörn Werdecker, Bo-Jung Chen

Quantum state-resolved scattering experiments for methane molecules colliding with a catalytically active nickel surface are compared to scattering from a nickel surface passivated by a single layer of graphene. The vibrational state distribution of the sc ...

Homogeneous Catalysis for Sustainable Hydrogen Storage in Formic Acid and Alcohols

Paul Joseph Dyson, Katerina Stefania Sordakis

Hydrogen gas is a storable form of chemical energy that could complement intermittent renewable energy conversion. One of the main disadvantages of hydrogen gas arises from its low density, and therefore, efficient handling and storage methods are key fact ...

Mechanical Stress Combined with Alloying May Allow Continuous Control Over Reactivity: Strain Effects on CO Dissociation and Subsequent Methanation Catalysis over Ni(211), Ni3Fe(211), and NiFe(112)

William Curtin

Mechanical stress combined with alloying as controlled by CO dissociation is investigated for the control of methanation activity. CO dissociation over strained Ni(211), Ni3Fe(211), and NiFe(112) is investigated. A continuous 0.62 eV range of CO reaction e ...

Interfacial Photoreduction of Supercritical CO2 by an Aqueous Catalyst

Hubert Girault, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Patrick Voyame

Not just a solvent anymore: CO2 reduction under supercritical conditions was achieved in a biphasic water–supercritical CO2 system using an aqueous soluble catalyst (see picture). The introduction of such an interface provides a suitable reaction medium wh ...
