Centre for Surface Science and Catalysis
The Centre brings together members of the academic staff in Chemistry and a
number of colleagues from other University departments with complementary skills
and interests. The Centre is extremely well equipped and, with support from the
University of Reading, moved into newly furnished laboratories at the beginning
of 1996.
The research undertaken in the Centre is the application of fundamental
science to problems in pure and applied catalysis and surface science. The staff
have had long associations with industrial companies across a wide spectrum of
chemical, petrochemical, refinery processing, energy conversion, and
environmental research.
- Interests include
-
Novel Carbon Materials
-
Solid state chemical sensors
Electrocatalysis using modified electrode surfaces
Development of modified electrodes and sensors
Environmental Catalysis
Characterisation of adsorbed species on well-defined single crystal surfaces
Characterisation of the morphology of supported catalysts
