So far we have begun work studying the adsorption of metals on iron oxide and titanium oxide substrates, and we have learned that water is a crucial ingredient for preventing diffusion. We have performed studies of how CO adsorbs on iron oxide supported metals, and compared experimental results directly to theoretical computations. This work resulted in a high profile publication, and we hope it will have significant impact in the field. We have also studied the mechanism of hydroformlyation on iron oxide supported Rhodium atoms, and we hope to publish these results in the near future. A part of this work was to investigate H2 splitting on single atoms, and this was published in ACS Catalysis. We have been developing our high pressure and electrochemical cells, major goals of the project, and have already published work using the former. The latter is now at prototype stage, and the device appears is capable of sealing between the liquid phase and ultrahigh vacuum.
