Our contribution to the special issue on “Catalysis for New Energy Technology” was selected for the journal cover of ChemCatChem. The work originated from a collaboration with Bill Epling’s group and the cover shows the electron density change in methane during its activation over a palladium catalyst. Hieu Doan created the artwork with the help […]

Graduate student Arian Ghorbanpour, co-advised by Prof. J. Rimer, has contributed computational results that explain the sorption behavior of ultrastable zeolite GIS polymorphs. In particular, his work shows that GIS is not a good framework structure for carbon dioxide sorption; instead, it is an excellent framework structure to separate water from other small molecules. The

The South Texas Section (STS) of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) selected our paper “The critical role of water at the gold-titania interface in catalytic CO oxidation” for the Best Fundamental Paper Award 2014. Hieu Doan and Lars Grabow accepted the award on behalf of all co-authors, which include Johnny Saavedra, Chris Pursell
Hieu Doan‘s work on understanding the interplay of electronic and geometric effects governing the CO electro-oxidation activity of Pt-decorated Ru nanoclusters makes the cover of Surface Science. The work is a collaborative effort with the experimental group of Stanko Brankovic (ECE@UH) and is published in a special issue titled “Reactivity Concepts at Surfaces: Coupling Theory with

What do Lars Grabow and methane have in common? They are both very happy! 🙂 And Lars Grabow will be even happier, when he finally succeeds in making methane less happy, by selectively activating only its first C-H bond without overoxidizing it to CO2 and H2O.
