| Since Boudart’s discovery of methods to synthesize early transition metal carbides and nitrides with high surface areas, there has been considerable interest in their use as catalysts. These materials have been demonstrated to be highly active for reactions ranging from amination to electrocatalytic hydrogen oxidation to water gas shift. This diversity of function, as well as their performance for selected hydrocarbon conversion reactions has led to comparisons with platinum group metals. This talk will review recent work in our group to understand relationships between the microstructural and catalytic properties of carbides and nitrides, and describe new methods for their synthesis and use as catalyst supports. |
