The recipient of 2015 LEE Hsun Lecture Series—LEE Hsun Research Award, Prof. Isreal E. Wachs from Lehigh University visited Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMR, CAS), from 12 to 18 Oct. 2015.
During the visit, Prof. Isreal E. Wachs gave a lecture entitled “Heterogeneous Catalysis Research in the 21st Century: Application of Operando Molecular Spectroscopy” and disscussed with researchers of Catalysis and Materials Division of IMR about basic theory and experiment of catalyzed kinetics, especially carbon catalyzed kinetics, and also combination of Raman, IR and kinetics, etc..
Prof. Israel E. Wachs is working in Chemical Engineering Department of Lehigh University. He is also the pioneer of in situ Raman spectrum applied solid industrial catalysts research. The current focus of Prof. Wachs’ catalysis laboratory is to develop catalyst characterization techniques under reaction conditions, referred to as operando spectroscopy in the recent literature. The term operando spectroscopy implies that the catalyst characterization information is being conducted simultaneously with online product analysis. Along these lines, Prof. Wachs has developed instrumentation that can simultaneously obtain Raman, IR and UV-vis spectroscopic information and product analysis with an online mass spectrometer/GC system.
