Research question

Team 1

How does the activity of different heterogeneous catalysts depend on the precise acid concentration in an acidic regime?

Team 2

How does the activity of the heterogeneous catalysts depend on the presence of cations under alkaline conditions?

Team 3

How does the activity of the porphyrin catalysts depend on the amount of catalytic material?

Team 4

How does the activity of the porphyrin catalysts depend on the metal site?

Team 5

How does the activity of the porphyrin catalysts depend on the pH?

Team 6

How does the activity of the different heterogeneous catalysts depend on the precise base concentration under alkaline conditions?

Team 7

How does the activity of the different heterogeneous catalysts depend on the buffer constitution under relative neutral conditions?

Report instructions#

For the report:

  • The report should describe all parts (DFT, EChem, Photo, STM). Make sure to keep the structure of introduction (why)/methods (how)/results/conclusion for each experiment. You can, for example, make a different section for each experiment.

  • Your research question is mostly related to the electrochemistry experiments. Try to answer this question in the electrochemistry section.

  • Not all parts are closely related. Some of them are. Try to relate as many as you can, for example in the discussion/conclusion of your electrochemistry section.

  • The report should be around 10 pages, so a good rule of thumb is one page per day.

For the presentation or poster:

  • Choose the results you like and make an interesting story out of it. This means you are allowed to leave out results.
