Improving selectivity in electrochemical CO₂-to-fuels catalysis : the role of catalyst mesostructure, surface structure, and electrolyte
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Mitigating atmospheric CO₂ levels is an important challenge in curbing anthropogenic climate change. To this end, the storage of intermittently generated renewable energy in the chemical bonds of electro-reduced CO₂ is ...
Steric and kinetic measurements at well-defined surface sites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Extended sp² carbon materials display a wide variety of oxidic moieties on edge sites that can be selectively targeted for functionalization. Monarch 1300 (Cabot Corporation) is a carbon black consisting of 10 nm graphitic ...
The selective oligomerization of ethylene with metal-organic frameworks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The benefits of heterogeneous catalysis for industry and the society at large cannot be overstated, with approximately 90% of all industrial catalysis being performed with heterogeneous catalysts. Despite the undeniable ...
Development of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands for nanomaterials in aqueous media and expanding the interface of metal-organic framework (MOF) and polymer chemistry via polyMOFs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
In the field of coordination chemistry, there are many standard organic ligand designs that are optimized for their ease of synthesis as well as established and favorable properties. Nevertheless, there is still room to ...
