Effect of Zn on the Binding Energy of CO on Pd Patrick D. Burton, Graduate Student in Nano-Science and Micro-SystemsAdvisor: Prof. Abhaya K. Datye, Chemical Engineering and Co-Advisors Frank Abild-Pedersen and Felix Studt
Major breakthroughs: Will be analyzing specific sites to determine
metallic composition and activity towards methanol steam reforming
PIRE Activities: 1. Summer internship at DTU2. Attended CAMD Summer School
Technical accomplishments: • Investigated the stability of Pd/Zn surface structures with the GPAW electronic structure code.•Determined CO binding energy at increasing distances from a Zn dopant in a Pd surface.•Provided intermediary assistance to technical staff for the installation of GPAW on UNM's own system.
