The aim of this WP will be to investigate the possible use of the prepared rhenium compounds in the previous work packages of the project in catalysis. In this research, mainly compounds containing metals, such as Cu, Ni, Co, Ag and other metals, including noble ones, will be used.
The planned activities include: development of methods of obtaining homogeneous and heterogeneous rhenium catalysts based on the rhenium compounds obtained in the previous WPs; determination of the reduction and calcination parameters to obtain the expected rhenium catalysts; defining the physicochemical properties of the produced catalysts by performing basic analyzes dedicated to this type of materials; checking the catalytic properties of the obtained homogeneous and/or heterogeneous catalysts in the model reactions.
