New LSU SRP Publication on Oxidative Pyrolysis and Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Speciation 

In this study, the identity of iron oxide nanoparticle radical species was identified using low temperature matrix isolation electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. These nanoparticles are associated with particulate formed from the oxidative pyrolysis of 1-methylnaphthalene (1-MN). Recent studies have indicated that iron oxide nanoparticles may relate to an increase in various pollutants associated with particulate matter. This research puts forth new facts to open future development for iron containing catalysts in the gas-phase.
