Departmental seminar on 1st November 2023
We have a guest, Dr. Štefan Vajda from Jaroslav Heyrovský Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences. The topic of his lecture is Atomically Precise Subnanometer Clusters: Size-and Composition Effects in Catalysis.
The focus of the presentation will be on catalysis by supported monodisperse subnanometer clusters made of a handful of atoms of one or two metals, supported on technologically relevant oxide supports. Using the examples of CO2 hydrogenation and CO oxidation, the effect of cluster size and atomic composition and the effect of the support will be discussed, along the role of theoretical calculations for the fundamental understanding of the function of cluster-based catalysts.
The lecture will take place in person, in the hall CH3, Faculty of Science, Hlavova 8, Praha 2.
