The University of Kentucky Research Foundation (the Research Foundation) received a $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083). This 2-year award, effective February 1, 2024, will support in-situ/operando characterizations of single atom catalysts (SACs) for clean fuel generation technologies. The project aims to investigate the structure, behavior, and dynamic changes of SACs on electrified surfaces for use in electrochemical processes like hydrogen production and carbon dioxide conversion. The research team will leverage advanced X-ray absorption spectroscopy capabilities at Argonne National Laboratory's Advanced Photon Source, combined with electrochemical mass spectrometry, to gain new insights into SAC performance and reaction pathways. This work has potential to advance climate change mitigation and clean energy technologies through more efficient and cost-effective catalysts. The award will also provide multidisciplinary training opportunities for graduate, undergraduate, and high school students.
