Angela Melcherts received the NIOK Lecture Award for her presentation at the NCCC 2024 conference


PhD student Angela Melcherts received the NIOK Lecture Award for her presentation “Tuning Metal-Support Interactions in the CO2 Hydrogenation over Ni Supported on Titania Polymorphs”. Angela presented the results of her research about the mechanistic pathways of catalytic CO2 methanation over nickel supported on different titanium dioxide polymorphs (i.e., anatase, rutile, and brookite). She used operando transient FTIR spectroscopy to identify active intermediates and study kinetics.
