Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Fnu Gorky's research focuses on plasma catalysis for ammonia synthesis, investigating various materials and conditions to enhance yield and efficiency. This work has explored the use of zeolites, such as Zeolite 5A, and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks like ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 as catalytic materials. Further studies have examined the influence of nanoparticle size, specifically nickel nanoparticles, on plasma catalytic ammonia synthesis. Gorky has also investigated the role of hydrogen-sink effects in improving ammonia yields and the energetic pathways enabled by nitrogen and hydrogen radicals in plasma-assisted synthesis.

Additional research has explored alkaline earth metal-based perovskites and mesoporous silica SBA-15 for cold plasma ammonia synthesis and decomposition. A recent publication addresses sustainable ammonia synthesis from nitrogen wet with seawater using single-step plasma catalysis. Gorky's work includes collaborations with Maria L. Carreon, Apolo Nambo, Vashanti Storr, and Grace Jones at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
