This joint computational-experimental project aims to address one significant global challenge of developing sustainable technologies for important chemical processes. The project expects to discover new advanced nano-catalysts via a rapid single-step process which will replace toxic and corrosive liquid acids, and low efficient solid acids, used in emerging biorefining and petrochemistry. Advanced spectroscopic studies, in synergy with state-of-the-art ab initio calculations will be used to explore nanostructure-performance relationship in depth. Such cutting-edge knowledge will have profound implications on designing innovative catalysts with tailored activity for sustainable production of biofuels and chemicals.

这一联合计算实验项目旨在解决为重要化学过程开发可持续技术的一个重大全球挑战。该项目预计将通过快速单步工艺发现新的先进纳米催化剂，该工艺将取代有毒和腐蚀性液体酸以及用于新兴生物精炼和石油化学的低效固体酸。先进的光谱研究，协同国家的最先进的从头计算将用于深入探索纳米结构与性能的关系。这种尖端知识将对设计具有可持续生产生物燃料和化学品的定制活性的创新催化剂产生深远影响。
