| Project Description |
The overall objective of the project is to develop active, selective catalysts for the synthesis of ethanol from coal-derived synthesis gas. A fundamental understanding of tbe catalytic properties and processes will require a detailed characterization of the surface and bulk structure of the catalysts. For this purpose, ORNL will utilize a series of charactenzahon tools, such as scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), scanning electron microscopy equipped with an EDAX (SEM/EDAX), infrared spectroscopy (FT/IR) and Raman spectroscopy, among others. |
