This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry provides $138,894 to Drs. Eranda Nikolla of Wayne State University and Will Medlin of the University of Colorado from January 2023 through December 2023. The funding supports research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop an understanding of solid metal/metal oxide interfaces in inverted catalytic systems. Specifically, the researchers are synthesizing controlled metal oxide-encapsulated metal nanoparticles with systematic variations in structure and composition to correlate these to surface chemical properties and catalyst performance. Insights from experimental model catalysts coupled with advanced characterization and computational studies are advancing understanding of interfacial chemistry in these systems. The encapsulated catalyst platforms are also being investigated for controlling near-surface environment through functionalization of oxide pores with organic ligands.
