Plasma catalysis at the nanoscale: Model development for diffusion of plasma particles in pores and study of the catalytic behaviour at the pore surface. University of Antwerp
In this project we will develop a generic model to simulate the diffusion of plasma species in and out of catalyst pores and the catalytic reactions at the pore surface. We will try to gather insight in the underlying processes of plasma catalysis in general and of the plasma catalytic conversion of CO2 and H2 to methanol specifically. We will focus on the conversion on a Cu-catalyst. Using quantum chemical calculations we will determine the ...
