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.

随着能源需求的升级以及化石燃料提取和气候变化与其燃烧有关的成本，我们需要开发可再生能源和燃料的来源，并从农业和木材废物等可再生资源中获取更多的消费品。该研究计划的核心是针对有效利用可再生资源的新工艺的尖端催化研究，即从木质素和生物化学催化的串联串联途径的选择性生产到诸如塑料袋，香料，香水和食品保护剂等消费产品的芳族化学物质。对于可再生能源，碱金属纳米颗粒催化剂将通过BN化合物的热解改善氢纯度，从而改善了具有燃料电池的便携式功率和运输的选择。
