The Catalysis Science & Technology journal features our recent Structure-Activity Relationships on Metal-Oxides: Alcohol Dehydration on its cover!
Natalie Publishes!
Natalie just published her first first-author publication in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C entitled “Understanding the Stability, Electronic, and Adsorption Properties of Sub-nanometer Group XI Monometallic and Bimetallic Catalysts”!! Congratulations Natalie!!
Grant Awarded from Pitt
The Office of Research and the Research Council of the University of Pittsburgh funded our small grant application (Central Research Development Funds) to investigate novel methane conversion pathways! (Budget: $16,000)
Congratulations Pavlo!
Pavlo Kostetskyy publishes his first first-author publication!! The manuscript entitled Structure-Activity Relationships on Metal-Oxides: Alcohol Dehydration is published in the Catalysis Science & Technology Journal. This is a collaborative work between our lab and Ray Gortes lab at UPenn. Congratulations Pavlo!!
