Workshop: Transient methods in heterogeneous catalysis - From scientific basics to industrial applications

This virtual event will continue the emerging tradition of lively scientific discussions on various aspects of transient kinetics that have taken place in recent years (NAM-2017, MACKIE-2018, NAM-2019). The last year has brought extraordinary challenges to so many around the Globe, and our community is no exception. Now, more than ever, we appreciate how essential it is for our professional and inner lives to be able to gather with our colleagues and friends. We must therefore adopt new formats for sharing our research aspirations and enjoying each others company. The 2021 virtual seminar on transient kinetics will include a series of scientific presentations and discussions, complemented by artistic intermissions created by the members of our creative community.

The Scientific program will focus on the applications of various transient techniques, such as Temporal Analysis of Products (TAP), to characterize heterogeneous catalysts. The program will provide an introduction for beginners and lead to state-of-the-art discussions for academic and industrial researchers. Prospective sections include:

• Introduction to transient kinetics and TAP
• Recent developments (hardware, software, methods, data analysis)
• Applications of transient kinetics in fundamental research
• Applications of transient kinetics for industrial catalyst development
• Progress in transient methods (Frequency response, microcalorimetry, surface spectroscopy), with selected examples

Format and timing. Zoom will be used as the digital platform for this event (links to be distributed via email shortly before the event). The event will take place between 18:00-21:00 (CET) / 10:00-13:00 (MST) on April, 26-28, 2021.
