Outline

The aim of this research subject is to develop the theoretical/computational method for the prediction of catalytic activity. This theoretical method includes first-principle, chemical kinetics, and reaction engingeering simulations. We combine all these methods, to make a qualitative prediction on the catalytic turnovers from the chemical composition or structural informations. We apply this methodology to the search for highly activite and selective methane conversion catalysts.
