This Project Grant award in the amount of $175,000.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to elucidate the cycling and deactivation mechanisms of calcium oxide-based CO2 looping sorbents under precise temperature control. The research aims to computationally model and experimentally study the fundamental chemical reactions between CO2 and calcium oxide to design processes that increase CO2 absorption and sorbent lifetime. The project will also engage local middle and high school teachers to develop new educational activities introducing students to materials science, energy storage, and CO2 capture concepts. The award has an initial duration from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027.
