This $211,628 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support collaborative research led by faculty at Christopher Newport University and California State University Monterey Bay, along with their undergraduate researchers. The project aims to elucidate the properties controlling the distribution and identities of ions at interfaces, particularly within atmospheric aerosols. Using a combined spectroscopic and computational approach, the research will investigate how molecular interactions and ionic charge influence the preferences of ions for interfaces and determine the properties that dictate ion pair formation. This work seeks to enhance the accuracy of atmospheric chemistry models and provide critical data to inform emission standards policies. No sub-awards are planned under this 3-year project, which begins on Aug 1, 2024.
