Doped Real and Model Transition Metal Oxide Catalysts from Pulsed Laser Post-Processing (C05)

• Subject Area: Solid State and Surface Chemistry, Material Synthesis
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 388390466

Project C05 developed pulsed laser post-processing (PLPP) methods to control the crystallographic defect density in spinel nanoparticles, which will now be expanded to laser-based doping of real catalysts and faceted 2D thin films as model catalysts with cations of increasing valency (Fe3+, Mn4+, V5+) to identify the underlying reaction mechanism and the active sites of real-structure catalyst.
