Abstract:
  Catalysis the key to realizing environmentally friendly and economical processes for the conversion of fossil energy feedstocks. It is also the key to developing new technologies for converting alternative feedstocks. The two challenges of heterogeneous catalysis, understanding mechanisms and dynamics of catalyzed reactions as well as the design and controlled synthesis of catalyst structures, require an atomic and electronic-level understanding of catalysts and catalytic processes. This talk will discuss synthesis, characterization, reaction study, and modeling of catalysts precisely synthesized at atomic level using intermetallic compounds and metal-organic frameworks, which provide the means for meeting the two grand challenges of heterogeneous catalysis. The synthesis of the catalysts is based on nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Biosketch:
  Dr. Wenyu Huang received B.S. in Chemistry from Nanjing University in 2000. After receiving an M.S. in 2002 also from Nanjing University, he started his Ph.D. research with Prof. Mostafa A. El-Sayed at Georgia Institute of Technology and received his Ph.D. in 2007. Dr. Huang then began postdoctoral research with Prof. Gabor A. Somorjai at University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in August 2007. He joined the faculty at Iowa State in 2011 as an Assistant Professor.
