Professor Magnus Skoglundh from Chemistry and Chemical Engineering has, together with Professor Henrik Grönbeck from Applied Physics, both from Chalmers, been granted SEK 33,530,000 over the course of five years from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW) for the project Atomistic Design of Catalysts. They will produce a new research methodology that, on atomistic level, will enable...
The beginning of life and emission control are two topics that combined in Anna Clemens’ PhD thesis. She has investigated both interstellar catalytic processes and catalytic reations to reduce NOx, within the framework of KCK, herself being a PhD student at Applied Physics and her supervisor Hanna Härelind working at Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
Maxime Van den Bossche and Henrik Grönbeck recently published a paper on methane oxidation over PdO(101) where they determine the full catalytic pathway from first principles calculations.
Understanding the interaction between surfaces and their surroundings is crucial in many materials-science fields, such as catalysis, corrosion, and thin-film electronics, but existing characterization methods have not been capable of fully determining the structure of surfaces during dynamic processes, such as catalytic reactions, in a reasonable time frame. We demonstrate an...
The effect of the gas phase during solid-state ion-exchange of copper into zeolites was studied by exposing physical mixtures of copper oxides and zeolites to various gases.
Catalysis Today, 2015, 258, p. 432-440. Soran Shwan, Jonas Jansson, Louise Olsson and Magnus Skoglundh. Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) from internal combustion engines are a major contributor to global air pollution and with more stringent environmental legislations, the need for more efficient and durable NOX emission control systems increases. In the present paper, experimental results of...
The research at KCK concerns heterogeneous catalysis for environmental applications, in particular exhaust aftertreatment and sustainable energy solutions. The goal is to make technological and scientific...
There are a wide range of multi disciplinary MSc research projects available through the Competence Centre of Catalysis at Chalmers University of Technology.
