This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $439,600 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania aims to transform carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas, into value-added chemicals and fuels through electrochemical processes. The project focuses on understanding the role of water activity in modulating the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to favor the generation of multi-carbon products over single-carbon counterparts. The research...
This $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program aims to advance electrocatalytic technologies for capturing and converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable fuels like methane and ethylene. The award to Clemson University's Division of Research will fund research to utilize captured (bi)carbonate ions rather than pure CO2 gas as the feedstock for the electrochemical reduction process. This approach seeks to improve the energy...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $538,791 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to research and develop novel electrocatalysts for the electrochemical conversion of bio-derived carboxylic acids to alcohols.
