Catalyst and Fuel Interactions to Optimize Endothermic Cooling

This report summarizes the main findings of an AFOSR Basic Research Initiative project in the area ofendothermic fuels catalysis. The focus was on developing improved catalysts to enhance and controlendothermic fuel reactions, to enhance cooling capacity for aircraft. In addition there was substantial basicmechanistic work, aimed at understanding processes responsible for catalytic activity for the reactions ofinterest, and for deactivation and coking of the catalysts. Finally, there was significant methodsdevelopment in the areas of theory, catalyst synthesis and characterization, and methods for catalyticreaction analysis.
