Chemisorption as a versatile tool to characterize multifunctional materials
Abstract
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. The objective of this effort is to acquire a chemisorption analyzer with vapor generator. This proposal is for the purchase of a chemisorption analyzer with vapor generator. The PI, Professor Ive Hermans, of the Universily of Wisconsin-Madison will use the equipment to augment and enhance research capabilities in the area of surface characterization and reaction mechanisms of chemical reactions on catalyst surfaces. Specitically, the equipment will support an ARO funded effort that uses in Operando Modulation Excitation Spectroscopy (OMES) to investigate the adsorption and chemical transformation of small molecules at gas-solid interfaces. The requested instrumentation will be used for determination of active metal surface area and dispersion: temperature programmed reactions: and advanced dynamic in situ studies. Coupling to a mass spectrometer will enable quantification of reactants and products.
