This National Science Foundation project grant of $300,000 supports research into electrochemical nickel-catalyzed reductive biaryl coupling reactions from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The award funds a collaborative team from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Colorado State University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).

Specifically, the team will use analytical, computational and electroanalytical tools to study the mechanistic steps of these reactions and understand how catalyst identity, conditions and applied potential influence each step. They aim to improve catalyst turnover number, frequency and selectivity to enable commercial scale electrosynthesis of chemicals for polymers and agriculture. The research seeks to advance understanding of nickel catalysis and electrosynthesis while developing more sustainable and cost-effective biaryl synthesis alternatives to current precious metal-based methods. Outreach activities are also included to promote diversity in chemistry and teach electroorganic chemistry.
