I am very please to announce that Dr Axel Knop-Gericke has joined the Catalysis Science & Technology Editorial Board.
Based at the Fritz-Haber-Institut of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Axel’s research interests focus on the application of surface science methods to give a greater understanding of catalyst surfaces. Three approaches have been developed to allow the study of these surfaces under the high pressures typically used in catalysed systems: Soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy using synchtron radiation in the 1-10 mbar range; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron raditaion in the mbar range with differential pumping of the analyser; and a single-crytsal microreactor for conversion studies in the 1-100 mbar range.
Axel joins the World Class Editorial Board:
Cynthia Friend, Piet van Leeuwen, Editors-in-chief
Paul Chirik, Paul Kamer, Noritaka Mizuno, Associate editors
Kuiling Ding, Deryn Fogg, Stan Golunski, David Jackson, Hans de Vries, members
