- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $555,000 Project Grant to Yale University to examine fundamental redox reactivity at the surfaces of nanoparticles. Over a 3-year period from September 2024 to August 2027, the project led by Professor James Mayer will investigate how hydrogen atoms and other species bind to and transfer from the irregular surfaces of nanoparticles made of materials like tungsten oxide, iron carbide, and cobalt phosphide. The research aims...
This $488,730 National Science Foundation project grant will support research at Rutgers University from July 2022 through June 2025 to study proton-coupled electron transfer processes in nanoscale environments. Principal Investigator Dr. Mark Lipke and his students will design modular porphyrin nanocages to systematically examine how confinement in nano-sized cavities alters the acidity and redox properties of encapsulated guest molecules. Specifically, they aim to develop robust redox-active nanocages, measure the effects of low-dielectric confinement on pKa values and reduction potentials, and control kinetics of proton and electron transport. This work will provide mechanistic insights applicable to rational design of porous catalysts and electrochemical transformations. Additionally, Dr. Lipke will engage K-12 students through research internships, classroom visits, and open educational materials development under the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
