The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $381,584 Project Grant to the University of Houston System for the development of a "Structured Catalytic Membrane Reactor for Sustainable Hydrogen Production." The 3-year research project aims to address two key technical barriers for this technology: (1) synthesizing a hydrogen transport membrane that meets flux, selectivity, and durability targets; and (2)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $528,664 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct fundamental research on the thermodynamics and reaction-transport kinetics of copper-based catalysts for electrochemical transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels and chemicals. The 5-year research project aims to develop a novel reaction-transport model for CO2 electrocatalysis that can enable the rational...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $499,842 awarded on February 1, 2022 will support research into understanding and exploiting the favorable role of non-stoichiometric oxygen in bulk metal oxide catalyzed partial oxidation of light alkanes. The University of Houston will conduct the research under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) through January 31, 2025. The project aims to develop a novel catalytic approach for enhancing ethene production from ethane while decreasing...
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 $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program aims to advance electrocatalytic technologies for capturing and converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable fuels like methane and ethylene. The award to Clemson University's Division of Research will fund research to utilize captured (bi)carbonate ions rather than pure CO2 gas as the feedstock for the electrochemical reduction process. This approach seeks to improve the energy...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to William Marsh Rice University, doing business as Rice University, to develop new heterolytic C-H activation catalysts based on Au/metal oxide interfaces. The project aims to investigate how the composition of the metal oxide support can be tuned to maximize the catalytic activity for breaking carbon-hydrogen bonds, which is a key challenge in natural gas processing. The...
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...
