Collaborative Research: CDS&E: Controlling encapsulated site microenvironments of metal nanocluster catalysts for nitrogen-based hydrogen carrier chemistries

Small metal nanoparticles are commonly used as materials to accelerate chemical reactions of importance, such as the production and use of fuels and chemicals. However, it is difficult to control the structures of these nanoparticles and how molecules interact with their surfaces. This limits the ability to control and tune their performance.…
