HEIF: Monodisperse, multimetallic microreactor wash coats for sustainable chemical synthesis
People Involved
Project Description
Sustainable chemical process and production underpins the UK economy’s growth. An elegant way to achieve this is by using catalysts, these are materials that are not consumed in a chemical reaction but speed them up, making the production of a specific chemical, pharmaceutical component or fuel molecule viable. By capitalizing on a technology developed as part of [Project: 3751764] and applying the applicant’s background in size regulated nanoparticle synthesis, novel methods of producing mono and bimetallic nanoparticle wash coats for micro reactors to carry out hydrogenation reactions. Nanoparticle composition and size can prove critical in altering the direction of a chemical reaction, especially when utilizing biomass derived platform molecules. Molecules of this type are necessary for us to produce green and sustainable chemicals, allowing us to fully disconnect from crude oil and other fossil derived means.
