DMREF/Collaborative Research: Design and Testing of Nanoalloy Catalysts in 3D Atomic Resolution
DMREF: Collaborative Research: Design and Testing of Nanoalloy Catalysts in 3D Atomic Resolution

Non-Technical Description: The project aims at the discovery of ultra-small, nanometer-sized alloy catalysts to improve the efficiency of fuel cells, mobile power generation, and automotive catalytic converters. State-of-the-art laboratory and computer simulation techniques will be engaged to explore the uncharted design space of bimetallic nanostructures for such applications and implement reductions in cost through partial replacement of precious metals such as platinum by cheaper alternatives
