High spatial resolution mapping of catalytic reactions on single nanoparticles
Catalytic nanoparticles are heterogeneous in their nature - and even within the simplest particles structural and compositional differences exist and affect the overall performances of a catalyst. Thus non-disruptive, detailed chemical information at the nanoscale is essential for understanding how surface properties direct the reactivity of these particles. Infrared spectroscopy offers a low-energy route towards conducting in-situ, high spatial resolution mapping of catalytic reactions on the surface of single nanoparticles, yielding the influence of various physiochemical properties on the catalytic reactivity. In the project my team will employ recently developed Infrared…
