The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Professor Jurss of the University of Mississippi for the development of new catalysts capable of transforming carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals. The project aims to develop more effective catalysts featuring tunable redox-active ligands to facilitate the conversion of carbon dioxide, a waste product, into desirable products. This research has important implications for national security and the economy by providing a pathway to regenerate fuels or commodity chemicals using sunlight or electricity. As part of the project, Professor Jurss will actively recruit, mentor, and train graduate students, undergraduate students, and Mississippi high school students through a hands-on research program, promoting careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The project will run from August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2029.
