The general objective of this project is to contribute to the development of key chemical processes of extremely high efficiency. This general objective can be broken down to three more specific objectives that would together achieve the overall goal of the project as follows:

i. To study and develop super-performance heterogeneous transition metal catalysts which achieve key chemical transformations at a ppm-ppb loading level with high chemical greenness.

ii. To technologically build particular prototypes of continuous flow chemical processes using easy-hadling and storable cartridges of heterogeneous catalysts.

iii. To study and develop novel catalytic processes with ubiquitous metal and/or non-metal elements.
