This $311,985 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program supports research on the scalable manufacturing of large-area thin films of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for separation applications. The University of Illinois, as the prime awardee, is using a combination of in-situ experimentation, modeling, and separation measurements to develop fundamental manufacturing knowledge on MOF thin film formation through scalable coating techniques like...
This $434,507 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of new photocatalytic materials for treating water contaminated with poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by Professors Thomas Senftle and Rafael Verduzco of Rice University. Under this three-year award beginning July 1, 2023, the researchers will apply computational and experimental methods to design covalent organic frameworks (COFs) capable of adsorbing and photochemically degrading PFAS. As modular...
This federal Project Grant award of $375,299, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research under the CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, supports research to advance the understanding of nanostructure, ion affinity, and mobility in polymer membranes. The research aims to enable the design of improved polymer membranes for sustainable applications such as reverse osmosis water purification, chemical flow batteries, and lithium recovery....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,999 Project Grant to William Marsh Rice University under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The grant supports the development of an advanced materials-based technology to permanently destroy toxic and persistent per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The project aims to optimize a photocatalysis-based approach that uses only light to degrade PFAS, without requiring chemical additives. The...
