Theoretical investigation of novel catalysts

Finishing Ph.D. student, supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Petr Nachtigall, Ph.D.
Zeolites are playing an important role in petrochemistry (as a catalyst for fluid catalytic cracking) and recently also in sustainable processes, such as biomass conversion. My doctoral work focuses on the structural determination of new zeolites, the mechanism of the desilication under hydrothermal conditions, and on the identification of the catalytic sites in acid zeolites with Lewis and Brønsted acid sites by the first-principle calculations.
