OverviewAI-generated summary
Maria L. Carreon's research focuses on the development and application of plasma-assisted catalysis for chemical synthesis and environmental remediation. Her work investigates the conversion of nitrogen and hydrogen into ammonia, a key process for fertilizer production, utilizing various catalytic materials including zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), perovskites, and mesoporous silica. She has explored the energetics of reaction pathways involving nitrogen and hydrogen radicals in plasma-assisted ammonia synthesis and examined the performance of different catalyst structures, such as hollow ZSM-5 microspheres, in deconstructing polyethylene to produce hydrogen and light hydrocarbons.
Carreon is also involved in research on atmospheric remediation, specifically the use of cold plasma and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for air purification. Her federal grant funding includes support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for projects focused on understanding plasma polarization on perovskites for CO2 capture and conversion, the rational design of alloys for non-thermal plasma-assisted ammonia production, and the development of cold plasma-intensified perovskite membrane technology for CO2 utilization. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 20, with over 2,100 citations across 57 publications. She maintains an active laboratory website and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
