Al2O3-x-based single-atom-catalysts for methane conversion
The goals of my research are to establish high performing single-atom catalyst systems for the selective conversion of methane, and to obtain the fundamental insights into the catalytic mechanism and the dynamic change course of a working single-atom catalyst, with the assistance of operando spectroscopic techniques and ab-initio simulation methods.
