WorkPackage 6 - Research at iCSI
Generic projects for additional industrial synergies
Sequential deposition of Pt and Rh on Al2O3/NiAl(110) can yield two distinct morphologies observed using Reactor STM. Top: Rh followed by Pt gives two types of particles pure Pt (smaller, 0.6 nm) and Rh mixed with Pt (larger, 1.5 nm). Bottom: Pt followed by Rh results in a uniform morphology containing mainly 0.8-1 nm clusters.iCSI is working to advance and integrate cutting edge experimental and theoretical methodologies within catalysis research for increased industrial innovation.
Each research activity taps into different competencies and infrastructures of the iCSI consortium. In addition, considerable sharing of knowledge on e.g. experimental procedures and modeling protocols is to take place between the work packages.
But since several of the industrial innovation areas involve similar, generic methodology, Industrial Innovation Area 6 (IIA6) has been allocated to generic activities unspecific to a particular technology with the intention of moving the research forefront and serving as a competence base for future IIA1-5 efforts.
