The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $599,814 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to examine the reactivity of multinary alloys for selective hydrogenation catalysis from June 2023 to May 2026. Penn State will prepare and characterize ternary, quaternary, and quinary β-brass systems containing platinum, iridium, copper, and/or gold to develop a quantitative catalysis science for high entropy materials. Using experimental and computational methods, the university will probe complex metal interactions in these compositionally diverse intermetallic compounds. Outcomes from hydrogen-deuterium exchange, ethylene hydrogenation, and selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene reactions will provide insight into trimer site composition effects on catalytic activity and selectivity. Penn State will leverage its materials science expertise to advance understanding of catalyst design and optimization for selective hydrogenation reactions through this collaboration.
