This $447,122 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, funds research at Washington University in St. Louis to study the nanoscale structure and catalytic activity of single-atom photocatalysts. Professor Bryce Sadtler and his team will use advanced single-molecule fluorescence microscopy techniques to visualize how the distribution and coordination of individual metal atoms on semiconductor supports change over time during photocatalytic reactions. This project aims to provide new insights into the structure-activity relationships of these emerging single-atom photocatalysts, which have potential advantages over nanoparticle-based systems for producing chemical fuels in a carbon-neutral manner. Additionally, the research activities will include hosting high school teachers in the laboratory to engage them in catalyst synthesis and characterization work.
