Producing and Interconverting Chemical Fuels – The Key to Deep Decarbonization
Vagelos Laboratory for Energy Science and Technology, Room 121
3200 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104
Deep decarbonization of industry and heavy-duty transportation will require the efficient production, distribution, and utilization of lower-carbon chemical fuels. Relatively mature technologies exist for producing hydrogen from water using renewable electricity, but hydrogen is…
Special Chemistry Seminar
The Power of Polarization – Controlling Bond Activation and Catalysis Using Interfacial Charge Separation
Vagelos Laboratory for Energy Science and Technology, Room 121
3200 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104
Polarization, the phenomenon of charge separation at an interface, generates strong, oriented electric fields. Models describing how interfacial polarization drives outer-sphere electron transfer are well-developed, but the influence of polarization on inner-sphere reactions…
