What advanced facilities and tools does PNNL offer for catalysis research?
PNNL provides state-of-the-art facilities and tools that enable cutting-edge catalysis research. The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) is a key facility that offers advanced characterization and analytical capabilities. EMSL houses sophisticated instruments such as scanning electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers. These tools allow researchers to study the structural and chemical properties of catalytic materials at the atomic and molecular levels. PNNL also utilizes high-performance computing resources to conduct computational simulations that provide insights into catalytic mechanisms and guide the design of new catalysts.
