OverviewAI-generated summary

Maria L. Carreon's research focuses on the synthesis of ammonia and the conversion of carbon dioxide using non-thermal plasma catalysis. Her work investigates the energetic pathways and reaction mechanisms involved in these processes, often employing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and perovskite materials as catalysts. She has explored the deconstruction of high-density polyethylene into hydrogen and light hydrocarbons using plasma-assisted catalysis over hollow ZSM-5 microspheres.

Carreon has received significant federal funding to support her investigations. She serves as PI on three NSF awards totaling nearly $1 million. These grants support her work on understanding plasma polarization on perovskites for CO2 capture and conversion, the rational design of alloys for high-yield ammonia production via non-thermal plasma catalysis, and the development of cold plasma-intensified perovskite membrane technology for CO2 utilization.

Her scholarly contributions include 55 publications with over 2,000 citations, reflecting a highly cited researcher designation. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Fnu Gorky, Apolo Nambo, M. Carreón-Garcidueñas, and Grace Jones, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
