Collaborative Research: Catalysis on crowded surfaces: the effects of co-adsorbates on CO — NSF Award to Colorado School of Mines
Converting hydrogen and carbon-containing feedstocks, such as CO and CO2, to synthetic fuels would augment US energy security and independence. Specifically, CO and CO2 hydrogenation are critical components in the industrial production of methanol, one of the most important platform chemicals in the chemical industry.

| Abstract | Converting hydrogen and carbon-containing feedstocks, such as CO and CO2, to synthetic fuels would augment US energy security and independence. Specifically, CO and CO2 hydrogenation are critical components in the industrial production of methanol, one of the most important platform chemicals in the chemical industry. Improving our understanding of these reactions will improve the competitiveness of the US chemical industry while potentially lowering energy and capital costs. These reactions rel |
