The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $519,350 Project Grant to Professor Terefe Habteyes at the University of New Mexico (UNM) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant supports an investigation into how gases interact with the surfaces of ionic liquid droplets (ILDs) at the nanoscale. Professor Habteyes and his students will use near-field optical methods, including nano-FTIR spectroscopy and scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy, to map the spatial distribution and chemical heterogeneity of gas adsorption on ILDs. This research aims to provide a fundamental understanding of how ionic liquids adsorb gases, which could lead to the design of more efficient materials for gas separation and catalysis. In addition to advancing scientific knowledge, the project offers hands-on research opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, helping to build a skilled scientific workforce through collaborations with the Air Force Research Laboratory and access to advanced nanotechnology facilities. The award period is from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2028.
