AbstractCHE-0404585Zaera/UC-RiversideStudies of the selectivity of hydrocarbon conversion catalysis form the focus of this research project supported by the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program. Professor Zaera and his coworkers at the University of California-Riverside use infrared spectroscopy coupled with a high pressure nanoliter sized catalytic reactor to probe the detailed kinetics of hydrocarbon reactions on transition metal surfaces. An understanding of the detailed kinetics of these reactions is crucial to the design of improved catalysts for hydrocarbon processing chemistry. The work of the Zaera group includes extensive and long term collaborations with scientists in Latin America.An understanding of catalytic selectivity is necessary in order to design and implement improved catalytic processes for hydrocarbon conversions. This improved understanding can impact energy conversion technologies, the industrial production of hydrocarbon feedstocks, and the catalytic production of fine chemicals. The work in Professor Zaera's laboratory at the University of California-Riverside addresses this question of selectivity by carrying out fundamental studies of surface reaction kinetics on well characterized transition metal substrates, using infrared spectroscopy and a novel nanoliter reactor method. Outreach to researchers in Latin America is included in this research project.

摘要/ abstract摘要：本研究项目由分析与表面化学计划资助，重点研究烃类转化催化的选择性。加州大学河滨分校的Zaera教授和他的同事使用红外光谱和高压纳升大小的催化反应器来探测过渡金属表面碳氢化合物反应的详细动力学。了解这些反应的详细动力学对于设计改进的烃类加工化学催化剂至关重要。Zaera小组的工作包括与拉丁美洲的科学家进行广泛和长期的合作。为了设计和实现改进的烃类转化催化过程，了解催化选择性是必要的。这种改进的理解可以影响能量转换技术、碳氢化合物原料的工业生产和精细化学品的催化生产。加州大学河滨分校Zaera教授实验室的工作通过对表征良好的过渡金属衬底的表面反应动力学进行基础研究，使用红外光谱和新型纳米升反应器方法，解决了选择性问题。本研究项目包括与拉丁美洲研究人员的接触。
