Dr. Gabriel Veith of Oak Ridge National Laboratory will be presenting a seminar titled Vapor deposition: A synthetic strategy to make and understand catalysts.
Abstract: This seminar will describe the use of physical vapor deposition methods to grow supported metal nanoparticles. While not a classical chemical synthesis method it introduces a new tool to the chemists arsenal. For example, this method enables us to understand the processes that go into making catalysts by the traditional decomposition of solution impregnated precursors on a metal oxide support. It also enables us to prepare new metastable materials such as PdN6 and PtN5. These materials have utility in the activation of N2 which currently accounts for about 3% of the world's energy consumption and is important to sustain the human population.
