| The present dissertation covers three research topics on catalytic environmental emissions control, including (1) aging and regeneration mechanisms of Rh- and Pd- model three-way catalysts (TWC) for gasoline automotive emission control, (2) catalytic methane emissions abatement from natural gas vehicles, and (3) scale-up of CO2 capture and methanation using dual functional catalytic materials. The study resulted in two peer-reviewed publications, two future papers and one patent application which is currently under review. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest.). |
