Sashank Kasiraju’s 2018 ACS Catalysis paper, a joint project with Prof. Michael Wong and Dr. Kimberley Heck at Rice University, and Prof. Jeffrey Miller at Purdue University, has received considerable news coverage. In our article we describe the mechanism for nitrate reduction over bimetallic palladium-indium nanoparticles in aqueous phase. The process is important for water […]
Having been a PhD student in the group of Prof. Manos Mavrikakis at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Prof. Lars Grabow had an early exposure to monolayer catalysts, or near surface alloys. At the time theory was able to make exciting predictions regarding the catalytic properties of these hypothetical materials, but only a hand-full of

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
