Summary on Grant Application Form
This project will facilitate the development of a collaboration between the ultrafast laser dynamics group at Queen's University Belfast (QUB) with the heterogeneous catalysis group working at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) and Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zürich in Switzerland. By applying the laser expertise of the QUB group to the catalytic methods of the PSI-ETH group in a number of novel feasibility studies, this project will explore the potential future role for femtosecond laser technology over a range timescales as a either a diagnostic of or a participant in catalytic reactions. A better understanding of catalysis reactions is needed to improve the efficiency of current industrial processes and in developing new energy sources for the future.
