This $449,356 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research at Clark Atlanta University to advance the development of nanostructured intermetallic catalysts for efficient electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide. The project aims to improve the energy efficiency, selectivity, and stability of these catalysts to enable more sustainable carbon dioxide utilization and conversion to valuable chemicals and fuels. The research will leverage expertise in colloidal synthesis, surface modification, electrochemistry, and spectroscopic characterization to precisely control the catalyst structure and composition. The expected outcomes have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a greener future with sustainable energy and chemical industries. Additionally, the project will enrich the education of underrepresented students by integrating the research into interdisciplinary programs covering electrochemistry, materials science, catalysis, and engineering. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of August 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027.
