Heterogeneous Catalysis

We work on various fields in heterogeneous catalysis which includes:

  1.          Metal free catalyst for dehydrogenation of paraffins to olefins
  2.          CO2 hydrogenation as a means to obtain value added chemical
  3.          Green synthesis of hydrogen peroxide
  4.          Formic acid decomposition to generate H2 with a high turnover number at room           temperature 

In our recent work on Formic acid decomposition reaction, we have obtained high turnover number for H at room temperature
