  1. 11. Heterogeneous catalysis in racemization and kinetic resolution along a journey in protein engineering

    Författare :Tamás Görbe; Jan-Erling Bäckvall; Frank Hollmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; racemization; protein engineering; kinetic resolution; heterogeneous catalysis; biohybrid catalyst; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The first part of my thesis concerns the use of heterogeneous acidic resins for racemization of tert-alcohols without any side-product formation. The focus was to develop a system which can be further extended to a DKR protocol consisting of an enzymatic KR reaction. LÄS MER

  2. 12. Alloy Plasmonics - Fundamentals and Application in Catalysis

    Författare :Christopher Tiburski; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CO oxidation; nanoparticles; gold; heterogeneous catalysis; LSPR; nanoalloys; nanofabrication; light; dielectric function; palladium;

    Sammanfattning : Alloys have for a long time been important in the development of our society; from the bronze age, where man learned how to alloy copper with tin, to today, where many products are made of steel and aluminum alloys. Similarly, but maybe not as generally well known, also in heterogeneous catalysis alloys are explored to develop solutions to increase activity and selectivity of chemical processes. LÄS MER

  3. 13. Kinetics of Nanoparticle Catalysis from First Principles

    Författare :Mikkel Jørgensen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional Theory; Mean field approximation; Acetylene hydrogenation; Kinetic Monte Carlo; CO oxidation; Entropy; Methane oxidation; Heterogeneous catalysis; Kinetic modeling; Nanoparticles;

    Sammanfattning : Modern society depends heavily on heterogeneous catalysis, which creates strong economical and environmental incentives to improve catalyst efficiency. Heterogeneous catalysts are often realized as metal nanoparticles (NPs) supported on oxide surfaces, and catalysts are traditionally developed by trial and error approaches. LÄS MER

  4. 14. Homogeneous and heterogeneous Cp*Ir(III) catalytic systems : Mechanistic studies of redox processes catalyzed by bifunctional iridium complexes, and synthesis of iridium-functionalized MOFs

    Författare :Greco González Miera; Belén Martín-Matute; Matt Clarke; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; catalysis; bifunctional; metal-ligand cooperation; amine alkylation; Hammett; kinetics; acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation; MOF; transition metal; synchrotron; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to investigate and develop catalytic processes mediated by iridium(III) complexes. By understanding the mechanisms, the weaknesses of the designed catalysts can be identified and be overcome in the following generation. LÄS MER

  5. 15. Microkinetic Modeling of Nanoparticle Catalysis using Density Functional Theory

    Författare :Mikkel Jørgensen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density Functional Theory; Methane oxidation; Mean-field approximation; Microkinetic modeling; Kinetic Monte Carlo; Nanoparticles; Entropy; CO oxidation; Catalysis;

    Sammanfattning : Heterogeneous catalysis is vitally important to modern society, and one path towardsrational catalyst design is through atomistic scale understanding. The atomistic scalecan be linked to macroscopic observables by microkinetic models based on first-principlescalculations. LÄS MER
