9815863HoflundThis award supports Gar Hoflund and two graduate students from the University of Florida in a collaboration with the laboratory of Horst Hahn of the Materials Science Department at the University of Darmstadt, Germany. The goal of the research is to develop novel methane oxidation catalysts for use in catalytic converters in automobiles that run on natural gas. The catalysts will consist of noble metals such as silver, palladium, gold, and platinum. A novel aspect of the work will be the use of nanocrystalline oxide supports. Natural gas as a fuel is less costly per unit of energy than gasoline, and, if properly burned, less damaging to the environment. The catalysts studied in this work are designed for long life and high efficiency.

9815863 Hoflund该奖项支持Gar Hoflund和来自佛罗里达大学的两名研究生与德国达姆施塔特大学材料科学系的Horst Hahn实验室合作。 该研究的目标是开发新型甲烷氧化催化剂，用于以天然气为燃料的汽车的催化转化器。 催化剂将由贵金属如银、钯、金和铂组成。 这项工作的一个新方面将是使用纳米晶氧化物载体。 天然气作为一种燃料，每单位能量的成本低于汽油，如果燃烧得当，对环境的破坏也较小。 在这项工作中所研究的催化剂的设计寿命长，效率高。
