Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
There is a critical need to develop new, renewable sources of energy as well as feedstocks for the chemical industry. Biomass is a carbon neutral source of energy and can also address issues related…

First-Principles Catalyst Design for Environmentally Benign Energy Production

Lead Institution
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Principal Investigator
Emmanouil Mavrikakis
Project type
Exploratory Research
We are developing a first-principles approach to the design of novel catalytic materials. A fully parallelized planewave total energy Density Functional Theory (DFT)-based code is used for modeling…
