This federal Project Grant award, totaling $200,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to San Jose State University Research Foundation. The award, titled "ERI: TOWARD NEW ZEOLITE DISCOVERY - ROLE OF NON-ALUMINUM HETEROATOMS IN INTERZEOLITE TRANSFORMATION SYNTHESIS", will investigate the use of non-traditional chemical compositions in zeolites to develop new materials for catalytic applications, including biomass conversion to energy. The research aims to expand the existing library of potential zeolite structures, which currently only use about 10% of the known zeolite frameworks. The award is expected to run from August 15, 2025, through July 31, 2027, and will promote STEM education by engaging community college students in the research.
