alumina. The AMM materials have been shown to be selective catalysts for<br />

oxidation, hydrogenation, alkylation, <strong>and</strong> hydrocracking.<br />

AMM membranes, prepared by dip-coating of asymmetric support<br />

membranes, are then used as catalytic membrane reactors. The catalytic<br />

membrane reactor allows the combination of catalytic activity with the<br />

permselectivity of the membranes to improve the selectivity of<br />

heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. Novel applications of AMM<br />

membranes include poison-resistant catalysis <strong>and</strong> complete suppression of<br />

secondary reactions with membrane catalysts.<br />

Research in the Group of Prof. Dr. B. Bogdanovic<br />

The nanomaterial research in Prof. Bogdanovic’s group focuses on the<br />

preparation of highly reactive, highly dispersed inorganic materials (metal<br />

<strong>and</strong> intermetallic cluster materials, metal hydrides, metal carbides) from<br />

molecular organometallic precursors. Materials based on active magnesium<br />

hydride were discovered for use as reversible hydrogen storage systems.<br />

Highly dispersed metals, intermetallics, <strong>and</strong> carbides have been evaluated in<br />

a variety of catalytic organic reactions.
