Session: Catalyst Design, Synthesis, and Characterization V: Novel Synthesis

Traditional heterogeneous catalysts consist of materials with nano-sized features developed predominantly by trial-and-error methods. Current methods in nanoscience can yield substantially more efficient catalyst development for existing and new applications. This session invites theoretical and experimental reports of designing and synthesizing novel catalytic materials as well as applications of novel materials. Abstracts that primarily focus on catalyst characterization (ex situ, in situ, operando, etc.) are additionally welcome. This session focuses on novel synthetic approaches to prepare a variety of catalytic materials.
