Research
Research Interests
Professor Ivan Kozhevnikov is engaged with investigation into catalysis, from homogeneous to heterogeneous. In particular he is recognised as an internationally leading expert in catalysis by polyoxometalates. Recent research activities of his group have been focussed on acid catalysis, selective oxidation, reactions in ionic liquids and multifunctional catalysis for the synthesis of chemicals from renewable feedstocks. This research has been funded by the EPSRC and a number of industrial companies in the UK, including BP, ICI, Johnson Matthey and BNFL. Ivan Kozhevnikov has authored over 220 research publications, including three books.
