Curriculum
Daniela Pietrogiacomi born in 1972. On July 1996 she graduated with honours in Chemistry at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. On February 2000, she obtained the PhD Degree in Chemical Sciences on “Preparation, characterization and catalytic activity of CoOx/ZrO2 and sulphated-ZrO2 catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with hydrocarbons in the presence of O2”. From May 2000 to February 2007 she carried out her research activity at the Chemistry Department of the University of Rome “La Sapienza” with postdoctoral fellowships in the field of the heterogeneous catalysis dealing with the study of oxide systems devoted to environmental concerns. On March 1st, 2007 she obtained a permanent position as Researcher at the same Department, in the field of Inorganic Chemistry.
The scientific interest is related to the surface reactivity of solids applied as heterogeneous catalysts. The main focus of the study is to clarify how the structural properties of oxide-based systems and the interaction mechanisms between solid surfaces and gaseous phase affects the catalytic behaviour. Specific attention has been devoted supported oxides or ion-exchanged zeolites applied to industrial processes of environmental concerns:
(i) the abatement of atmospheric emissions of pollutants (NOx) and greenhouse gases (N2O) by selective catalytic reduction reactions with hydrocarbons as reductants in the presence of oxygen;
(ii) the sustainable production of hydrogen by CH4 catalytic partial oxidation or reforming reactions with CO2 included as reactant.
During the research activity she has gained experience working with several complementary characterization techniques, such as XRD, ESR, XPS, volumetric adsorption and redox cycle, DRS UV-Vis in air and in situ, and FTIR spectroscopy. Specifically, she applied in situ-FTIR spectroscopy with various probe molecules (CO, NO, pyridine, NH3, nitriles, N2O) to investigate the chemical properties of surface sites. She also developed the Operando-FTIR apparatus, enabling simultaneously spectra collection and GC analysis under reactant flow at different temperatures, to characterize surface intermediates formed under specific reaction conditions and to gain insights into the reaction pathways.
The results of her researches have been presented in an invited plenary lecture at the international conference KRACat-deN2O (4-6 May 2016, Krakow, Poland) and 50 communications at national and international conferences.
She is co-author of 42 papers on international scientific journals (H-index=19, 1.135 total citations, 1009 without self-citations, WOS database) and referee of international journals in the field of heterogeneous catalysis.
