MERGE Twinning Project
@MERGEprojectEU
MERGE is 3-year Horizon Europe project focusing on biomass valorisation to chemicals and fuels by developing single-atom catalysts. 🇪🇺 Funded by @HorizonEU
What are the advantages of structured, shaped or even 3D-printed #SingleAtomCatalysts (SACs) compared to their powdered counterparts? ⚛ 👉Read the details in a new review #paper published from our partner @polimi advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… @vsbtuo @VileGroup @Q_PLANIntl
