On the project

The development of next-gen catalysts and reactors for alternative fossil fuels with circular processes is dependent on the fundamental understanding of redox and hydrogenation reactions occurring on metal surfaces. This project introduces new approach to study CO oxidation on Pt utilizing in-situ atomic force microscopy. The Litescope device can be inserted into the electron microscope chamber, thus enabling a correlative overview of surface processes during heterogeneous catalysis.

Description in English
The aim of the project is to create a competition for student research grants and its pilot verification. The creation of a new competition will contribute to the development of cross-sectional skills of doctoral students, and thus acquire competencies for work in science and research in the future and increase their success in submitting scientific projects to national and international competitions.
