The National Science Foundation awarded a $495,000 Project Grant to the University of Houston under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research into methods for capturing carbon dioxide through supramolecular and dynamic covalent chemistry. Professor Ognjen Miljanic and his team will study the use of cyclotetrabenzoin molecules to stabilize carbon dioxide within internal cavities, as well as employ dynamic combinatorial chemistry to identify species that...
This $770,000 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of new classes of photoswitchable organic compounds to enable control of carbon dioxide (CO2) binding and release with visible light. The principal investigator, Richard Liu of Harvard University, aims to create photochemical systems that can passively capture CO2 from emission...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $299,980 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) for the period of August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The purpose of this grant is to investigate mass and energy transfer mechanisms in stimuli-responsive "smart" sorbent materials for direct air capture of carbon dioxide (CO2). The research aims to develop new sorbent materials that can release...
This Project Grant award of $507,426 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program supports research by Professor Wesley Bernskoetter and his team at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The project seeks to develop new catalytic processes that combine carbon dioxide, an abundant and renewable resource, with other reagents like ethylene to produce valuable commercial chemicals. The research aims to identify catalyst features that enhance reaction...
This $1,700,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research to develop a bioelectrochemical process to capture and recycle carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value chemicals using microbes. The project aims to create a circular economy by transforming CO2 into acetic acid, which will then be used as a feedstock for engineered Escherichia coli strains to produce sustainable biomaterials. Key activities include developing...
This $425,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program will fund a collaborative research project between Michigan State University and Leipzig University. The project aims to develop a robust testing platform for in-situ monitoring of carbon dioxide (CO2) diffusion and carbon capture performance in mesoporous substrate-supported polyamine systems (MSPAS). The research team will use a combination of experiments and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry has awarded a 3-year, $316,588 Project Grant to Long Island University (LIU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The purpose of this grant is to support the development of novel carbon nanosphere-encapsulated bimetallic catalysts and metal-CeO2 interfaces for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to value-added chemicals. The key objectives of this research project are to: (I) leverage the confinement of...
