Thesis
Tuning Zeolite Catalysts using Organic Additives
Using computer modelling techniques to determine the role and effects of additives on the catalytic behaviour of zeolites through a specific reaction case study.
Quantum chemical computer modelling techniques used in the project include Density Functional Theory, Molecular Dynamics and Metadynamics.
