With escalation of energy demand and costs of fossil fuel extraction and climate change linked to its combustion, we need to develop renewable sources of power and fuels and obtain more consumer products from renewable resources such as agricultural and wood waste. Central to this research program are cutting-edge catalysis studies directed at providing new processes for efficient utilization of renewable resources, i.e., selective production of aromatic chemicals from lignin and combined bio-chemo-catalytic tandem routes to consumer products such as plastic bags, fragrances and food preservatives. For renewable energy, base metal nanoparticle catalysts will improve hydrogen purity from thermolysis of BN compounds, improving options for fuel cell-enabled portable power and transportation.

随着能源需求和化石燃料开采成本的上升以及与其燃烧有关的气候变化，我们需要开发可再生能源和燃料，并从农业和木材废料等可再生资源中获得更多的消费品。该研究计划的核心是尖端催化研究，旨在提供有效利用可再生资源的新工艺，即，从木质素中选择性地生产芳香化学品，以及将生物-化学-催化串联路线结合起来生产消费品，如塑料袋、香料和食品防腐剂。对于可再生能源，贱金属纳米颗粒催化剂将提高来自BN化合物热分解的氢气纯度，从而改善燃料电池支持的便携式电力和运输的选择。
