|
– Advanced synthesis methodologies of hierarchical zeolites for improved use of microporous materials in heterogeneous catalysis – Oxidative dehydration of glycerol to acrylic acid in one-step using bifunctional catalysts – Combination of time resolved spectroscopic techniques applied to the structural study of catalysts with hierarchical porosity |
|
| Research summary | |
| Our goal is to acquire a fundamental understanding of the nature of active sites on catalyst surfaces, the catalytic reaction pathways and to be able to design catalysts with the desired pore architecture for specific reactions. The catalysts include zeolites, alumina, mixed oxides of vanadium and molybdenum and hydrotalcites. | |
