Outline of Research at the Start |
Without a detailed understanding of the electronic states of the catalysts’ active sites and the orbitals of the adsorbates involved in the interaction/reaction, it is unlikely to improve the existing catalysts, explore new possible catalytic materials, and design superior catalysts. Thus, this proposal aims to develop and apply my new concept, the electronic structure decomposition approach (ESDA), to explains the nature of the chemical bond between an adsorbate and a catalyst and that can be used to explore the materials' space to discover new and more functionalized catalysts.
