Abstract

One of the great challenges in catalysis is the rational design of the active sites that maximize the activity and selectivity toward the desired products. Single-atom catalysis has become one of the most active frontier in heterogeneous catalysis. The recent advances in synthetic methodologies associated with advanced characterization techniques aim to understand how to produce catalysts in which the properties can be tuned by the interaction between single metal atoms and support (in some cases, with ligands too), and how this can be explored to maximize the catalytic performance. This PhD project aims to obtain Ni-based catalysts and bimetallic catalysts for bi-reforming methane reaction through the controlled degradation of organometallic (or coordination) complexes on nanometric oxides, targeting the fine control and identification of the catalytic sites.
