Obiettivo
Ambient pressure oxidation determines the stability, functionality and long term performance of nonmaterial in their working environment. The Nana consortium will clarify, how nonmaterial behaves and function under environmental oxygen conditions. The influence of the size and shape of Nan particles on ambient pressure oxidation will systematically investigated in a revolutionary approach: Surface sensitive in-site techniques for ambient oxygen pressures and high temperatures will be combined with ab-initio thermodynamic calculations. NanO2 brings together the specialists in Europe with unique expertise in oxidation processes as well as novel experimental and theoretical techniques. NanO2 aims to grow sized-sized Pd, Rah, Run, and Cu particles with defined size and shape on selected oxide substrates, such as AI2O3, Mao, Toil and Zone. Within four work packages the key barriers to control ambient pressure oxidation of nonmaterial will be attacked: the influence of size-size and -shape, the formation of sub-surface oxygen, the ab-initio modelling of the oxidation of man-sized materials at high oxygen pressures and high temperatures and substrate-substrate interaction including oxygen spill over effects. The control of oxidation under operational conditions is of utmost importance for the enhanced performance of catalysts involved in applications ranging from fuel cells and chemical production to electronic sensors for automotive and environmental monitoring applications. On a more general scheme, the atomistic knowledge, prediction and control, how substrate behave and eventually deteriorate under environmental conditions, will bring increased security to a European society becoming increasingly more dependent on nanotechnologicalsystems and structures. The acquired knowledge from this European project may lay the basis for further studies expanded to a whole range of substrate and corrosive environments.
