The transition to net-zero and carbon-free fuels rests on a precise understanding of how molecules break apart and recombine during combustion and energy conversion. Predictive models of these processes, known as chemical kinetic models, are essential for designing cleaner engines, alternative fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, and next-generation catalysts. Yet, constructing such models from […]
