Project: Exploring layered carbide-nitride systems for ammonia synthesis combining experiment and theory
The goals of the grant are to employ computer simulation techniques to study an important class of novel carbide and nitride materials with potential for catalytic applications, in particular to: i) determine the bulk nitride/hydride composition of MAX phases under Haber-Bosch conditions; ii) relate the interactions of N2/H2 on MAX phase surfaces with bulk composition; iii) identify the best MAX catalyst for ammonia synthesis and contribute to the understanding of the reasons originating the improved catalytic activity. Funds are available for attending conferences and for networking activities with project partners at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Saudi Arabia) and at the University of Barcelona (Spain).
The work will be carried out at CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials / Department of Chemistry of the University of Aveiro, under the scientific supervision of Doctor José R. B. Gomes and Doctor José D. Gouveia.
The grantee will be working closely with a team focused on the discovery of novel materials for catalytic applications by computer driven approaches.
