The National Science Foundation (NSF) Chemical Catalysis Program awarded a $675,000 Project Grant to Professors Linsey Seitz and Jeffrey Lopez at Northwestern University to investigate fundamental chemistry towards improved hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting. The overarching goal is to develop and understand the molecular-scale chemistry of inexpensive catalysts that can efficiently and durably drive electrochemical water oxidation, which is a key challenge for proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) technology. The project will employ advanced automated and experimental probes to characterize catalyst materials under realistic operating conditions and evaluate structure-performance relationships. The research will also expand electrochemistry-based curriculum at Northwestern through the development of hands-on laboratory modules. This award is funded under the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, which supports fundamental and applied research across disciplines to advance scientific knowledge and develop innovative technologies.
