OverviewAI-generated summary
Maria L. Carreon's research centers on plasma catalysis, a field that utilizes plasma to enhance chemical reactions. Her work investigates the synthesis of ammonia, a critical component in fertilizers and a potential energy carrier, using various plasma-assisted catalytic methods. She has explored mechanisms underlying ammonia synthesis by radio frequency plasma catalysis and the effects of catalyst properties, such as nanoparticle size, on yield. Carreon also studies the application of plasma catalysis for the synthesis of valuable materials, including graphene from agricultural waste and CO2 utilization through perovskite membrane technology.
Her federal grant funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) totals nearly $1 million, supporting projects focused on understanding plasma polarization for CO2 capture and conversion, designing alloys for ammonia production via non-thermal plasma, and developing cold plasma intensified perovskite membrane technology for CO2 utilization. Carreon's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 20 and over 2,000 citations across 56 publications. She actively collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Fnu Gorky, Apolo Nambo, and Vashanti Storr.
