Organisation or Individual Expertise:
We study the synthesis, characterisation and application of heterogeneous catalysis in the areas of environmental chemistry and energy generation.
The first strand of research involves de-pollution technologies and green chemistry. Ongoing environmental chemistry / green chemistry projects include the following;
Particulate matter combustion strategies,
NOx storage and reduction catalysts,
Selective catalytic reduction of NO using ammonia and urea,
Selective catalytic oxidation using benign oxidants,
Supported nanoparticle catalysts for selective H-D exchange and aqueous phase synthetic organic reactions.
The second strand of research involves the use of heterogeneous catalysts in energy generation. Recent energy related projects are listed below;
Heterogeneous catalysts for the production of bio-diesel,
Catalysts for the valorisation of glycerol (a bio-diesel byproduct)
Catalysts to facilitate the use of ammonia borane as a material for hydrogen storage
Improved photocatalysts for hydrogen photosynthesis
Solid phase catalysts for carbon dioxide hydrogenation into C1 molecules
Organisation or Individual Expertise Keywords:
environmental and sustainable heterogeneous catalysis
biofuels
