This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's $387,370 Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) funds research at Clemson University from October 1, 2021 to April 30, 2024 to develop dual function materials for capturing and converting carbon dioxide into methanol and higher alcohols. The grantee, Clemson University, will synthesize, characterize and evaluate materials capable of both capturing carbon dioxide and catalyzing its conversion to more valuable chemicals, with a focus on applications treating flue gas at power plants. This dual-function approach could potentially replace more energy intensive multi-step processes for carbon dioxide capture and storage. Additionally, a $50,000 subaward to The University of Toledo will support a Ph.D. candidate's research activities on this project through Summer 2022. Both efforts aim to advance more efficient carbon dioxide conversion while linking the research to education and outreach initiatives around environmental science.
