Most common catalyst particles are host to a complex network of pores and a substantial fraction of their actives sites may be embedded deep within. It is not always straightforward how reactant and product species diffuse in and out of the particle. In order to rationally design more efficient catalyst structures in the future, it is crucial to get a better understanding of molecular transport in such porous systems.

The goal of this project is to develop a method to track the formation and diffusion of chemical species using luminescent nanocrystals that change color when in contact with the species of interest.
