“Ambient Electrochemical Functionalization of Methane with d0 early transition metal-oxo species” Abstract: The abundant yet widely distributed methane (CH4) resources demands an efficient conversion of CH4 into liquid chemicals at ambient conditions with minimal infrastructure support. In the existing approaches of metal-catalyzed reactions and catalysis based on free-radical chain mechanism, the reactivities of the former metal species seem insufficient to […]
Abstract: Despite advances in high-throughput screening methods leading to a surge in the discovery of catalytic reactions, our knowledge of the molecular-level interactions in the rate- and selectivity-determining steps of catalytic reactions, especially those involving highly unstable and reactive open-shell intermediates, is rudimentary. These knowledge gaps prevent control, suppression or enhancement, of competing reaction channels that […]
"Computing with Molecules: Storage and Classical Computation Using Small Molecules and Their Reaction Networks"
Kyle Meador Yeates Group “Design and Assembly of 3D Protein Crystals” and Natalie Schibrowsky Rodriguez Group “Biochemical and structural analysis of in vivo Cry11Bs crystalline inclusions”
“Structure and Surfaces at the Nanoscale” Abstract: Liquid-phase and wet-processing techniques offer tremendous opportunities for low-cost manufacturing and enable the concept of large-scale nanotechnology. Today, these approaches have facilitated the massive upscaling of lithium ion battery technology and promise to play a future role in a wide variety of electronic, photonic, and electrochemical systems. Materials and […]
Abstract: Synthetic polymers have permeated nearly every facet of modern life. From the ubiquity of polyolefins to recent advancements in 3-D printing, organic materials continue to shape the world around us. While tremendous accomplishments have been made with relatively few polymer families, the future requires the development of materials with increased control over structure to produce […]
“Machine learning for scent”
The NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis is delighted to announce that it will be hosting a monthly webinar series. The second day of this series will be held on Tuesday, November 17th at 1:00 PM. We are pleased to invite all students, postdocs, faculty, and staff.
Carter Lantz Loo Group “Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Amyloid Proteins and their Interaction with the Aggregation Inhibiting Compound CLR01”
“Thermodynamic and Mechanistic Studies of C02Reduction Catalysts” Abstract: The increase in global energy demands, coupled with growing environmental concerns, necessitates the development of viable technologies to store solar energy. Towards this end, my group is focused on developing efficient catalysts that convert CO2 to CO, methanol or formic acid. My talk will first describe our […]
