Single-atom catalyst with high metal loading and durability for methane-to-liquids

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) offers a research opportunity focused on single atom catalyst (SAC) characterization and catalysis tests. The selected candidate will be responsible for preparation of SAC catalysts by high temperature fusing, characterization using techniques such as SEM/TEM, elemental analysis, N2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, XPS, XAS, and catalysis tests in methane upgrading reactions for value added chemicals/fuels. This position is within the Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD), the Army's principal center for research and development in electromagnetic spectrum exploration. The ARL-RAP is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. The program provides opportunities for scientists and engineers to help shape and execute the Army's program for developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs.
