Abstract The ACSC project addresses key research challenges central to the core catalysis projects by leveraging the unique synthesis expertise and advanced characterization capabilities at multiple DOE National Laboratories and coupling them with computational modeling through the CCPC to facilitate the rational design of catalysts for the core catalysis projects and shorten the cycle of catalyst development across the entire BETO program, leading to innovative catalytic materials for commercial bioenergy applications.
