Catalyst Testbed

X-ray Testbed for Breakthrough Catalyst Measurements

Ongoing
Interested in collaborating? See below What does this project do for industry? Current measurement techniques are unable to follow the reaction pathways during catalysis and are limited to observing only the end products or looking at catalysts outside of realistic reaction conditions. Our new

Chemical/Biochemical Microsensor Science

Ongoing
Our research is focused on the basic and applied aspects of chemical sensor science and technology in the following areas: The development and evaluation of nanoscale materials, e.g., nanowires and nanotubes, for high-performance chemical sensing of gas-phase species Novel approaches for low-cost
