PhD Student, Leibniz Institute for Catalysis, Germany I am currently a PhD candidate from Leibniz institute for catalysis (LIKAT) in Germany under the supervision of Prof. Jennifer Strunk. My research interest is in the field of heterogeneous catalysis with a focus on the study of structure and reactivity relationship for…
Structure/activity relationships in heterogeneously catalysed selective hydrogenation reactions of relevance to agri-chemical production chains A recently completed industrially sponsored Ph.D. project, concentrating on the kinetics and hydrodynamics of nitrile hydrogenation, has enabled a catalyst specification to be defined that supports high amine selectivity and extended catalyst lifetimes. A follow-on Ph.D. project is…
The clean and sustainable production of hydrogen offers an essential pathway to decarbonisation of numerous industries and technologies. Electrolysers, which split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity are expected to play a critical role in achieving such ambitions. Today, commercial proton exchange membrane electrolysers utilise precious metal catalysts such as…
