Cornell University received a three-year $435,381 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to apply and develop high-resolution imaging approaches for quantifying adsorption behaviors of molecules involved in electrochemical hydrodechlorination reactions on single palladium nanoparticles. The research aims to generate fundamental knowledge to improve the efficiency of electrochemical dechlorination of chlorophenols, a class of aquatic pollutants. Specifically, the grant supports graduate student research using optical microscopy techniques to quantify energetics of reactant, intermediate, and product adsorption on palladium nanoparticles under various electrochemical potentials. Insights gained into how adsorption relates to initial surface facet structure and particle size could guide efforts to manipulate molecular adsorption through dynamic electrochemical potential modulation of palladium-based electrocatalysts. The work commenced July 1, 2023 and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026.
