Fundamental Studies Of Bimetallic Model Surfaces And Metal Organic Framework Thin Films, Fathima Sharfa Farzandh Apr 2020

Fundamental Studies Of Bimetallic Model Surfaces And Metal Organic Framework Thin Films, Fathima Sharfa Farzandh

Theses and Dissertations

This work is mainly focused on gaining a fundamental understanding of conventional bimetallic catalysts in order to correlate their macroscopic properties with the observed kinetic properties. This is achieved by synthesizing and studying fundamental model surface analogues of conventional catalysts that are difficult to study due to their complex, ill-defined nature. A wide array of surface science techniques that use ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions are readily available for detailed studies that can be conducted on model surfaces. This work focuses on the synthesis and investigation of two fundamental bimetallic catalysts formed via the addition of a second metal to an …
