The National Science Foundation awarded a $499,488 project grant to the University of California Irvine under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to support the acquisition of a benchtop x-ray absorption and emission spectrometer for sustainable energy research. The spectrometer will allow researchers to analyze materials at the molecular level for applications in areas like solar energy conversion and energy storage. Work under this two-year award running from August 2021 through July 2023 will provide instrumentation and technical support to further the university's research efforts in developing new sustainable energy technologies. As the prime awardee, UC Irvine will oversee project activities being carried out on its campus in Irvine, California.
