This $292,130 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Loyola University of Chicago and the University of Connecticut to develop heavy atom-free photocatalysts for chemical reactions. The grant is funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through research in these fields. Specifically, the grant provides three years of funding until June 2026 for a collaborative research...
This $309,414 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program, supports research at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) to develop a new class of photocatalysts that can transform cheap, unreactive raw materials into value-added chemicals. The goal is to control the photochemical process and reaction selectivity by modulating the energy of the light...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $442,454 project grant to the University of Connecticut Office of Sponsored Programs to support collaborative research titled "CARBENE-CONTAINING LIGANDS ON CU AND CU3N NANOCUBES: ACCESS TO STABLE AND SELECTIVE ELECTROLYSIS FOR CO2 REDUCTION." The three-year award period runs from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The funding supports research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance...
This $462,226 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry will support Professor Rory Waterman of the University of Vermont in studying more efficient ways to form chemical bonds using metal compounds activated by light, a process called photocatalysis. The key objectives are to investigate a new photocatalysis phenomenon discovered in Prof. Waterman's group, develop photocatalytic approaches to forming carbon-element bonds (e.g. phosphorus,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $550,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for a 3-year project. The objective is to establish light-activated reactions that form transition metal hydride complexes, which are critical for producing fuels and commodity chemicals. The research activities will study the electronic structure and photochemistry of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $249,988 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop new photocatalysts for green oxidation processes. Professor Shabnam Hematian and her research team will study catalytic processes using light and oxygen to generate value-added chemicals from hydrocarbons. Specifically, the team will develop oxo-bridged heterobinuclear systems containing different metal...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $402,669 to the University of South Florida aims to develop iron- and copper-based hybrid Mie-resonator photocatalysts for carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-nitrogen (C-N) cross-coupling reactions. The project will explore the structure-property-performance relationships of these inexpensive, earth-abundant photocatalysts to enable visible light-driven C-C and C-N coupling reactions at atmospheric...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $399,662 to Professor Gonghu Li of the University of New Hampshire to study new photocatalysts based on earth-abundant metals such as copper and nickel. The research aims to design and synthesize supramolecular photocatalysts using covalent linkers to enable tuning of photo-induced charge separation and multi-electron catalysis. This work will contribute...
