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密尔沃基分校的Wilfred Tysoe教授的研究计划。 Tysoe博士和他的学生将探索模型金钯合金催化剂上的氧化反应途径，使用表面科学光谱探针和反应过程的计算建模相结合。 这项工作的重点是开发一个分子水平的理解醋酸乙烯酯单体合成，直接过氧化氢合成，CO和醇的氧化反应的反应途径。 在这些研究中，将探讨表面氧显示催化活性的性质。 在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活性催化剂。 这项工作还为学生在这一技术重要领域提供了一个培训基地。 女性和代表性不足的少数民族学生占研究团队的很大一部分。
