The project will provide detailed understanding of the active sites and atom transfer processes involved in catalytic conversion of various bio oil molecules derived from lignocellulosic biomass. Identification of highly active metal sites on reducible oxide supports will enable design of catalysts with optimized composition and site location. The catalyst structure-function relationships thus obtained will provide design guidance for converting a broad range of oxygenated organic compounds to high-value fuels and chemicals. The research will be integrated with educational and outreach programs targeting American Indian students, while also emphasizing the importance of safety in chemical processes.Biomass conversion processes typically create a broad range of oxygenated intermediates that are treated further by catalytic processes to remove the excess oxygen and build longer chain hydrocarbons attractive as fuel components and chemical intermediates. Efficient conversion requires multifunctional catalysts - typically composed of metal and metal oxide active sites - capable of several simultaneous or sequential reaction steps. While it is well understood that different types of active sites are required for the different reactions, the exact nature of those sites and their ideal proximity is not known. This study will examine those factors by decoupling metal sites from reducible metal oxide sites using carbon nanotube (CNT) bridges as hydrogen shuttles. By eliminating direct contact between the metal and metal oxide components, and by varying the metal-metal oxide spacing along the CNTs, the study will provide an opportunity to examine independently two important aspects of bifunctional catalysis on reducible metal oxides: metal-support interactions and hydrogen spillover from the metal to the metal oxide support. The study will also investigate how the metal-support and hydrogen spillover effects vary with different types of molecules common to biomass deconstruction processes. More broadly, the study will provide catalyst design guidance that can be used to improve the technoeconomic viability of a broad range of chemical reactions including those of importance in natural gas processing. The PI is a faculty mentor for the American Indian Science and Engineering Society at the University of Oklahoma, and plans to use the project as an opportunity to expand his on-going efforts to recruit Native American students at all levels via outreach camps that emphasize the importance of sustainable energy while generating excitement towards engineering degrees amongst American Indian and other underrepresented groups.

该项目将详细了解木质纤维生物质衍生的各种生物油分子催化转化所涉及的活性部位和原子转移过程。识别可还原氧化物载体上的高活性金属中心将使催化剂的设计具有最佳的组成和位置。由此得到的催化剂结构-功能关系将为将各种含氧有机化合物转化为高价值燃料和化学品提供设计指导。这项研究将与针对美国印度学生的教育和推广计划相结合，同时也强调化学过程中安全的重要性。生物质转化过程通常会产生广泛的含氧中间体，这些中间体通过催化过程进一步处理，以去除多余的氧气，并建立更长的碳氢化合物，作为燃料组件和化学中间体具有吸引力。有效的转化需要多功能催化剂--通常由金属和金属氧化物活性中心组成--能够进行几个同步或连续的反应步骤。虽然众所周知，不同的反应需要不同类型的活性部位，但这些部位的确切性质及其理想的接近性尚不清楚。这项研究将使用碳纳米管(CNT)桥作为氢梭，通过将金属位置与可还原金属氧化物位置分离来检验这些因素。通过消除金属和金属氧化物之间的直接接触，以及改变金属-金属氧化物沿碳纳米管的间距，这项研究将提供一个机会，独立地研究可还原金属氧化物上的双功能催化的两个重要方面：金属-载体相互作用和氢从金属向金属氧化物载体的溢出。这项研究还将调查金属支撑和氢溢出效应如何随着生物质解构过程中常见的不同类型的分子而变化。更广泛地说，这项研究将提供催化剂设计指导，可用于提高包括天然气加工中重要的化学反应在内的广泛化学反应的技术经济可行性。PI是俄克拉荷马大学美国印第安人科学与工程学会的教师导师，他计划以该项目为契机，通过强调可持续能源重要性的外展夏令营，扩大他正在进行的努力，招收各级美国原住民学生，同时在美国印第安人和其他代表性不足的群体中激发对工程学学位的兴奋。
