Science and Engineering of Catalyst Preparation I


Description:
Let's prepare some catalyst - rationally! To help "transform the art of catalyst preparation into a science," papers are solicited which get at the fundamental, molecular-scale phenomena occurring in the synthesis of heterogeneous catalytic materials, and the exploitation of that knowledge to achieve rational control of catalytic structures. Experimental and theoretical work on model and high surface area systems is welcome.
