The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project is that the palladium on hierarchically porous monolithic carbon catalyst being developed promises longer lifetimes and higher performance to industrial chemical companies. This more active, more selective catalyst can lower the operating temperature in chemical reactions thereby decreasing energy usage and giving products with fewer impurities, requiring a smaller number of purification steps and producing less waste. Success will therefore impact both ecological and commercial sustainability in the chemical industry. The objectives of this Phase II research project are 1) demonstrate that the carbon support is scalable while maintaining the mechanical properties needed for industrial use, 2) scale loading the palladium catalyst onto the support, 3) exhibit the same high catalytic performance as the laboratory prepared catalyst, and 4) enter full scale production while setting up a quality system. The catalyst to be produced at large quantities represents the first of a new class of hierarchically porous catalyst supports and so further validation of this new product will provide the foundation for introduction of a broad class of catalysts with these superior properties. If successful, full scale manufacturing of this new class of catalysts will be pursued.

这个小企业创新研究第二阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是，正在开发的钯-多级多孔整体式碳催化剂有望为工业化学公司提供更长的寿命和更高的性能。这种活性更高、选择性更强的催化剂可以降低化学反应的操作温度，从而减少能源使用，并使产品具有更少的杂质，需要更少的纯化步骤，产生更少的废物。因此，成功将影响化学工业的生态和商业可持续性。 该第二阶段研究项目的目标是：1）证明碳载体是可扩展的，同时保持工业使用所需的机械性能，2）将钯催化剂规模负载到载体上，3）表现出与实验室制备的催化剂相同的高催化性能，以及4）进入全面生产，同时建立质量体系。待大量生产的催化剂代表了新类别的分级多孔催化剂载体中的第一种，因此这种新产品的进一步验证将为引入具有这些上级性能的广泛类别的催化剂提供基础。如果成功的话，将追求这种新型催化剂的全面生产。
