Syntheses of Alkaline Earth-Transition Metal Bimetallic Catalyst Precursors and Bimetallic Heterogeneous Catalysts

Summary:

This invention describes high yield (80-85%) methods for producing a family of known alkaline earth-transition heterobimetallic complexes useful for a variety of industrial complexes.

Potential Applications:

  • Hydrogen production – could be used to produce hydrogen for fuel cells
  • Environmental – Can be used to convert some environmental toxins into useful materials

Advantages:

  • High yields
  • Multiple methods for producing the catalysts
  • Method can be fitted to current production processes at relatively inexpensive cost

IP Status:
