June 11, 2021
Professor Astrid M. Müller’s review article on Pulsed Laser in Liquids Made Nanomaterials for Catalysis appeared in Chemical Reviews. She and her PhD students Ryland Forsythe, Connor Cox and Maddie Wilsey used the pandemic-related downtime of her lab to compose a comprehensive review of the field of laser-generated nanomaterials for catalysis, either with performance testing or of potential interest for catalytic applications. They highlighted the unique benefits of the laser synthesis technique that is central to Müller’s research. The review serves as a practical guide that both the catalysis and laser synthesis communities can exploit to advance catalyst development, by leveraging the synergies of two fields of intensive research.
