Research Interests of Department of Structure and Dynamics in Catalysis
Synthesis, structure and reactivity of heterogeneous catalysts based on 3D alumosilicate and carbon matrices:
● Analysis and control of Al organization in the framework of zeolite matrices
● Synthesis and application of zeolites with unique properties (Al-rich beta zeolite)
● Design and structural analysis on the atomic level of catalytic centres stabilized in 3D matrices
● Effect of Al organization in the zeolite matrix on the performance of zeolite catalyst in redox and acid catalysed reactions
● Highly effective transformations of hydrocarbons
● N2O and NO/NO2 abatement
● Methane conversion to liquids using molecular oxygen and N2O
● Selective oxidation of hydrocarbons by molecular oxygen and N2O
● CO2 activation
● Synthesis of 3D graphene and its application in catalysis and sorption
● Development of techniques for the analysis of the structure of heterogeneous solids on an atomic level (ss-NMR, FTIR, Mӧssbauer, UV-Vis-NIR absorption and emission spectroscopies)
● Analysis of surface-bound reactive intermediates at ex-situ and in-situ reaction conditions employing transient modes of the catalytic process
● Theoretical approaches for modeling of the catalyst-structure-reactant systems
