Projects

  • "Automotive exhaust gas capture performance of simple oxides" with mentor Nicholas (Dec. 14, 2023)

Project Portfolio

Automotive exhaust gas capture performance of simple oxides

Started July 28, 2023

Abstract or project description

The student will synthesize a few different simple oxide materials to test their gas capture performance for automotive exhaust gases. He will synthesize 3-5 materials and characterize them to ensure that the proper material has been made and then test and quantify their gas capture performance.
