Catalysis and Nanotechnology Research Laboratory (CNRL)

Welcome to the Catalysis and Nanotechnology Research Laboratory at Kansas State University. Our research program focuses broadly on rational catalyst design for controlled and scalable growth of carbon nanomaterials and related nanostructures via catalytic CVD. We are particularly interested in understanding nanoscale phenomena and processes, as well as designing game-changing, well-tailored, multifunctional hybrid nanostructures for applications in energy storage/conversion, heterogeneous catalysis, and environmental remediation.
