The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $526,154 Project Grant to Boston College under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports Professor Matthias Waegele's research into how the distribution of organic and inorganic cations in the electrochemical double layer (EDL) is influenced by the bulk electrolyte composition and how this distribution affects electrocatalytic reactions, including carbon dioxide reduction and hydrogen evolution. The project aims to use vibrational spectroscopy to examine the potential-dependent structure of the EDL and provide fundamental insights into the relationships between cation distribution and interfacial electrostatics. The research could advance the understanding of the EDL under reaction conditions and inform the design of efficient and selective electrocatalytic interfaces for various technologically relevant reactions. The project will also provide educational opportunities for high school students.
