This Project Grant award of $507,426 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program supports research by Professor Wesley Bernskoetter and his team at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The project seeks to develop new catalytic processes that combine carbon dioxide, an abundant and renewable resource, with other reagents like ethylene to produce valuable commercial chemicals. The research aims to identify catalyst features that enhance reaction selectivity and minimize undesired byproducts, enabling more efficient and sustainable chemical synthesis. This work has potential applications in producing fuels and renewable polymers from carbon dioxide. The award term runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 and will provide practical training for a new generation of scientists, including those from underrepresented groups in the chemical sciences.
