The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $560,000 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on July 15, 2021 for completion by June 30, 2024.

The grant funds research to reveal the atomic and electronic structures of photoelectrode/catalyst/water interfaces and their effects on solar water splitting. University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers will conduct experiments and computational modeling of oxide interfaces using density functional and many-body perturbation theory methods. Two $50,000 subawards to the University of Chicago will support electronic structure calculations and sensitivity analysis to model material properties at the atomic scale.

The work aims to advance understanding of solar water splitting through quantitative analysis of material interfaces central to photoelectrochemical processes. Outcomes could enhance national scientific capabilities in solar energy as envisioned under the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program.
