Description:About the Seminar:\n\nThe activation and reduction of dinitroge
 n to ammonia remains a focal point of catalysis research. Currently\, nitr
 ogen fixation is accomplished on an industrial scale via the energy-intens
 ive Haber-Weiss process. The identification of economically viable alterna
 tives to ammonia production with a reduced environmental footprint compare
 d to Haber-Weiss catalysis\, and which would be amenable to the use of ren
 ewable energy resources\, remains of intense interest. As such\, the elect
 rocatalytic reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia has garnered considerable a
 ttention. In our research we seek to integrate computational methods with 
 experimental techniques to understand the fundamental factors that control
  the activity and selectivity of electrocatalysts for dinitrogen reduction
 .\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\n\nThe Cundari Group has been a recognized leade
 r in transition metal catalyst modeling for over 25 years. We work with le
 ading groups in organometallic/inorganic catalysis to integrate theory and
  experiment to identify novel catalysts for hydrocarbon functionalization.
  Team Cundari has published ~360 papers in this area\, most of them in lea
 ding journals of the American Chemical Society\; Cundari has given ~170 in
 vited lectures in the U.S. and abroad. The Cundari Group has been continuo
 usly funded by National Science Foundation (NSF) and U.S. Dept. of Energy 
 (DOE) for 25+ years for its research in catalyst modeling\, as well as par
 ticipating in leading-edge research collaboratives for NSF and DOE centers
  of excellence in catalysis. 4:00 pm
