Nicole J. LiBretto's research focuses on designing and characterizing catalysts (materials that speed up or steer chemical reactions) for energy and fuel-related applications, including converting CO2 into useful chemicals and upgrading biomass-derived oils into fuels like jet fuel. Work involves synthesizing nanoparticle catalysts (such as metal phosphides and oxides) and using advanced microscopy and computational tools like Bayesian optimization to understand how catalyst structure affects reaction outcomes.
Publication output peaked around 2020-2021 and has gradually declined since, though work continues into 2025-2026.
