Liquid metal alloy catalyst in propanedehydrogenation

2:00 PM - 2:15 PM

Abstract

My Linh Phuong received her Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (Honours)degree from RMIT University, Australia in 2023. She graduated with First Class Honoursand was the runner up for the best final year chemical engineering design project (PrattPrize 2024) in Victoria. After graduating, she started her PhD study at RMIT University in2024 focusing on liquid metal catalysts for low emmision applications. The objectives in hercurrent study is to furtheer explore the catalytic activity of liquid metal alloy in propanedehydrogenation and hydrogenation as well as the new design of bimetallic or multimetallicalloy nanoparticales fabrication method.
