Automated Development of a Comprehensive Microkinetic Model for Catalysis
Post, June 16, 2026 • Combustion Research Facility researchers Chris Kliewer, Judit Zádor, Shinae Kim and Eric Smoll published a paper in "The Journal of Physical Chemistry C" on "Automated Theoretical Investigation of the Ammonia Decomposition Reaction Network on Pt(111)". In this work, the authors mapped out the potential energy surfaces of ammonia decomposition and...

Generative Design of Active Sites on Arbitrary Catalysts
Post, June 12, 2026 • Judit Zádor co-organized this year's "Faraday Discussion on Bridging the gap from surface science to heterogeneous catalysis" that was held in London, United Kingdom, April 20th-22nd. At this meeting she and fellow CRF researcher Matthew Johnson presented their development, with collaborator Richard West from Northeastern University, of an interpretable machine-learning framework...

New Formation Mechanism for Surface Oxide Observed in Pt Catalysis
Post, June 12, 2026 • Chris Kliewer, together with Timothy Livingston Large and Brian Patterson, published a paper in "The Journal of Physical Chemistry C" on "Kinetics of the Formation of a High-Temperature Surface Oxide on Pt(111) under Near-Ambient Pressure O2" In this work, the authors used near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) to investigate...
