catalyst S. Ted Oyama Research Areas: Study of catalytic reactions of importance in environmental problems. Design and synthesis of novel inorganic membranes. Approach: – Use flow and recirculation reactors spanning 0.1-100 atm– Emphasize study of structure of catalysts and membranes and functional mechanisms– Utilize advanced spectroscopic techniques, including laser Raman spectroscopy, NMR, EXAFS, and XANES. – Focus on in situ techniques, kinetics, and isotopic studies – Augment understanding using Gaussian cluster calculations – Combine fundamental studies with practical applications
Research Subjects 1) Development of new inorganic membranes 2) Studies of membrane reactors 3) Biomass conversion 4) New catalysts: metal phosphides 5) Computations using DFT
