Christopher K. Russell works on catalysis and materials chemistry aimed at converting carbon-containing feedstocks (like CO2, methane, and biomass-derived syngas) into useful fuels and chemicals. Much of the research involves designing metal oxide and metal-based catalysts, including 'chemical looping' processes that use lattice oxygen to drive reactions such as hydrogen production, CO2 capture, and CO2-to-methanol conversion. The work combines experimental catalyst testing with mechanistic studies of how these reactions occur at the atomic level.
