The Chemical Catalysis Program of the Chemistry Division of the National Science Foundation will support the research program of Professor Wilfred Tysoe of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Dr. Tysoe and his students will explore oxidative reaction pathways on model gold-palladium alloy catalysts, using a combination of surface science spectroscopic probes and computational modeling of the reaction processes. The work focuses on developing a molecular level understanding of reaction pathways for vinyl acetate monomer synthesis, direct hydrogen peroxide synthesis, and CO and alcohol oxidation reactions. The nature of the surface oxygen displaying catalytic activity will be probed in these studies. Fundamental insights obtained in these studies will aid in the design and development of active catalysts for commercial application. The work also provides a training ground for students in this technologically important field. Women and underrepresented minority students make up a large portion of the research team.

国家科学基金会化学部的化学催化计划将支持威斯康星大学 - 米尔沃基大学Wilfred Tysoe教授的研究计划。 Tysoe博士和他的学生将使用表面科学光谱探针和反应过程的计算建模的组合来探索模型金 - 甲基合金催化剂上的氧化反应途径。 这项工作着重于对乙酸乙烯酸乙烯酸乙烯酸乙烯酸乙烯酸盐单体合成，直接过氧化氢合成以及CO和酒精氧化反应的反应途径的分子水平理解。 这些研究将探测表现出催化活性的表面氧的性质。 这些研究中获得的基本见解将有助于设计和开发用于商业应用的主动催化剂。 这项工作还为这个技术上重要领域的学生提供了培训理由。 妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生构成了研究团队的大部分。
