Research Group

The graduate students that Dr. Kerry Dooley works most closely with are:

- 鈥淢etal Alloy Catalysts for Methane Dry and Bireforming鈥�

- 鈥淐hemical Synthesis and Process Development of the Nootkatone Family of Insect Repellents鈥�

- "Minimization of Specific Energy of NH3 via Next 鈥� Generation NH3

Postdoc:  Dr. Tiana Plaisance - "Dry Reforming of Methane, ALD Catalysts Characterization"

Dooley Labs 鈥� our facilities include:

• • • Continuous catalytic reactor systems covering a range of pressures and temperatures
    • Product analysis 鈥� GC, MS, LC
    • Catalyst characterization 鈥� DSC/TGA, FTIR, porosimetry, chemisorption
    • Synthetic facilities such as autoclaves, ovens, Schlenk lines, glove box
    • Two RF-induction heating generators 

We also work extensively at the 海角社区 Synchrotron Center on the XAS beamlines, at the 海角社区 Shared Instrumentation Facility (XPS, XRD, Raman, TEM, SEM) and at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (TEM, Raman)
