Crystalline Metal Oxide Catalysts

ISBN-13: 9789811950155 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023

Opis

This book introduces the innovatively advanced crystalline metal oxide catalysts that have multi-catalytic functions on the basis of spatially placed elements in crystal structure. With authors who are experts in their fields, the chapters of the book are organized according to catalytic function, on the basis of crystal structure. The book also covers the structure determination of micro–nano-sized metal oxide crystals that are now standard in most catalytic materials and new trends in catalyst development using materials informatics and catalytic informatics. The information contained here will guide researchers who are eager to carry out sustainable catalytic processes and ultimately to achieve a sustainable society in their quest for catalyst development.

O autorze

Wataru Ueda is a professor in the Department of Material and Life Chemistry at Kanagawa University and also an emeritus professor of Hokkaido University. He gained a Ph.D. from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT) in 1981 and subsequently worked as a research associate at the Research Laboratories of Resources Utilization in TIT. From 1985 to 1987 he was a Ramsey memorial fellow at the Department of Physical Chemistry, Cambridge University,  and the Royal Institution of Great Britain, working with Prof. J. M. Thomas. From 2006 to 2010, he was the director of the Catalysis Research Center, Hokkaido University; in 2011, he served as the president of the Catalysis Society of Japan, and from 2012 to 2014, of the Japanese Petroleum Institute. He has contributed as an advisory board member for the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society Berlin since 2015.  Professor Ueda is a leader of the research community of solid-state metal oxide catalysis and has initiated numerous research projects.
