    Catalytic processes are vital to U.S. manufacturing, yet poorly understood at the molecular level. New methods link ultrahigh vacuum surface analysis with reaction kinetics, enabling better modeling of catalytic reactions.

    Area of Science:

    • Chemical Engineering
    • Materials Science
    • Surface Science

    Background:

    • Catalytic processes significantly impact the U.S. economy, representing one-sixth of manufactured goods value.
    • Despite economic importance, molecular-level understanding of catalysis remains limited.
    • Advancements in atomic-level surface analysis techniques have emerged over the past two decades.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To bridge the knowledge gap in molecular-level understanding of catalytic processes.
    • To link surface science measurements with real-world catalytic chemistry.
    • To establish metal single crystals as effective models for catalytic reactions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing atomic-level surface analysis techniques (e.g., structure, composition, chemical bonding).
