The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $381,999 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Houston System, doing business as the University of Houston. The grant will fund a collaborative research project between Naihao Chiang from the University of Houston and Lindsey Madison from Colby College to study heterogeneous electrochemical systems using advances in hyperspectral imaging and simulation tools. The key objectives are to:

  1. Construct a custom-built electrochemical tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-TERS) instrument to experimentally characterize electrode surfaces.
  2. Use computational modeling techniques like ab initio molecular dynamics and time-dependent density functional theory to predict the effect of small molecule oxidation states on surface binding configurations and Raman response.
  3. Engage primary and secondary students through after-school outreach activities.

This 3-year project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to improve understanding of the interplay between electrical potential, absorbed molecules, and electrolytes at electrochemical interfaces, with potential applications in advanced electrochemistry like batteries and catalysts.
