CEROP – Deciphering single-atom catalysis in Pt/ceria systems via advancing the CERIC operando methods
Principal Investigator (PI): Josef Mysliveček
CEROP aims at extending the knowledge about heterogeneous catalysis by applying operando and experimental methods for yielding information on catalyst interactions with realistic gaseous or liquid environments. The project will combine the CERIC techniques available at the Surface Physics Laboratory in Prague with the beamlines in Trieste, SAXS and XAS (contributed by the Austrian and the Italian CERIC partner facilities respectively).
