What we study
The Searles Lab studies how to turn abundant gases like CO2, N2, and CH4 into useful chemicals using new inorganic catalysts. They create and test both solid (heterogeneous) and molecular (homogeneous) catalysts, often using surface organometallic chemistry to understand how the reactions work.
