Totaling $366,434, the award aims to evolve previously uncharacterized dioxygenases found in soil bacteria to expand their substrate ranges for valuable applications in organic synthesis and...
- This $292,130 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Loyola University of Chicago and the University of Connecticut to develop heavy atom-free photocatalysts for chemical reactions. The grant is funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through research in these fields. Specifically, the grant provides three years of funding until June 2026 for a collaborative research...
- This $420,000 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of California, Santa Cruz, aims to develop a low-cost and highly effective method for disinfecting water through the use of single-atom photocatalysts (SAPS). The research will focus on creating new SAPS composed of transition metals dispersed at the atomic level onto a supporting material, which can enhance light absorption and charge separation to boost the...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $550,000 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research led by Professors Timothy Strathmann and Shubham Vyas at the Colorado School of Mines. The project aims to advance a photochemical technology for destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are persistent contaminants in drinking water. The research focuses on understanding the underlying...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will provide $400,000.00 in funding to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to develop a sustainable electrochemical recycling method for recovering and reusing important industrial homogeneous catalysts. The project aims to: (i) design nanostructured, high-accessibility electrosorbents for recovering various palladium-based homogeneous catalysts, (ii) investigate the nanoscale...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $312,596 awarded on October 1, 2022 will support research at San Diego State University to develop an innovative "trap and destroy" water treatment technology for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The university will work to optimize adsorptive photocatalysts that can selectively absorb PFAS from water and then destroy the compounds using ultraviolet or solar light. Key deliverables under the 24-month award include...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $555,000 to the Colorado School of Mines to investigate the enzymatic biodegradation of the fungicide chlorothalonil and the herbicide atrazine. The project aims to gain molecular-level insights into two zinc-dependent hydrolytic dehalogenase enzymes that degrade these halogenated aromatic compounds to less-toxic forms. The research will examine the catalytic...
- This $462,226 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry will support Professor Rory Waterman of the University of Vermont in studying more efficient ways to form chemical bonds using metal compounds activated by light, a process called photocatalysis. The key objectives are to investigate a new photocatalysis phenomenon discovered in Prof. Waterman's group, develop photocatalytic approaches to forming carbon-element bonds (e.g. phosphorus,...
