Summary
With support from the Chemical Catalysis program in the Division of Chemistry, David Flaherty (Georgia Institute of Technology), David HIbbitts (University of Florida), and Ayman Karim (Virginia Polytechnical Institute) will examine the connections among the structure, dynamics, and catalysis of reactions with oxygen on bimetallic nanoparticles. The team will create, characterize, simulate, and test how atoms of distinct metals move and facilitate reactions upon the surfaces of nanoparticles comprised primarily of gold with small amounts (1-5%) of a second element such as palladium or platinu
