Project description

Super-dry reforming of methane is a promising method to convert CO2 into valuable chemicals. Traditional materials struggle to stay reactive and stable after multiple redox reactions. This research aims to develop multifunctional materials to improve efficiency, test their activity and stability over thousands of cycles, and explore the underlying mechanisms of each component through advanced characterization tests and kinetic studies.
