Catalysis Science & Technology: Editor’s Choice November 2020

16 Nov 2020

Associate Editor Tetsuya Shishido has selected some outstanding recent research from Catalysis Science & Technology to share with you. Read now for free until 17^th February 2021.

Tetsuya Shishido received his PhD at Hokkaido University in 1997 for fundamental research on acid-base catalysis. He began his career as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Chemistry, Hiroshima University in 1997, carrying out research on supported metal catalysts for energy innovation, for example methane to hydrogen, and then moved to the Department of Molecular Engineering, Kyoto University in 2005.

In 2013, he was promoted to full Professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University. His research focuses on heterogeneous catalysis, in particular, catalysis by metallic nanoparticles or metal oxides on supports. He also works on in situ spectroscopic methods to elucidate the reaction mechanism on heterogeneous catalysts at the molecular level.
