The University of South Carolina received a $111,612 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Chemical Catalysis program (CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences) to develop a new dual-site relay catalysis strategy to significantly improve the activity of reducible metal oxide-based materials in oxygen reduction reactions. This research aims to advance fuel cell and metal-air battery technologies by replacing rare, expensive precious metal catalysts with low-cost alternatives, making these clean energy technologies more economically viable. The award supports experimental kinetic studies and computational simulations to identify the governing structure parameters and establish structure-activity relationships for these catalysts. The project also includes education and outreach activities to create scientific interest among high school students and recruit underrepresented students into STEM fields.
