Time-Resolved Dynamics During the Initial Decline in Catalytic Activity of the CO + NO Reaction Over Platinum – Elucidating the Role of NCO

April 29, 2025

SSRN

The temporal evolution of the reduction of NO by CO over Pt/Al2O3 as a layered and powdered catalyst in flow reactors is investigated as a function of temperature and stoichiometry and at low concentrations typical for emission control. The focus is mainly on the early decline in conversion over freshly reduced or regenerated catalysts as well as on the reaction of NO with isocyanate previously adsorbed on the surface. Results suggest presented suggest that isocyanate formation promotes dissociation of adsorbed NO, thus temporarily counteracting the well-known inhibiting effect of CO adsorption.

Identifying critical powder properties for high-throughput dispensing of alumina and organic templates

Screening powder properties such as flowability, compressibility, and particle geometry is crucial for controlling ceramic processing, particularly in automated workflows that demand high reproducibility. Sacrificial templating for porous ceramics is well suited to automation because it is prone to variability arising from manual handling.

Integration of Machine Learning and Automated Synthesis for Accelerated Drug and Material Research

The challenges posed by global climate change and disease risks have intensified the demand for efficient and practical materials and molecules. Traditional trial-and-error approaches are becoming increasingly inefficient and resource-intensive. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new avenues to accelerate research and shorten development cycles.
