The National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities awarded Oklahoma State University (OSU) a Project Grant of $294,412 under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) for the period May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2028. This EPSCOR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) Research Fellows award supports fundamental research into mechanocatalysis with MXenes—layered ceramic materials designed to form self-healing, protective tribofilms at sliding interfaces. The project, conducted in collaboration with Professor Babak Anasori at Purdue University, aims to understand how surface terminations and mechanical stress drive catalytic reactions on MXene nanocrystals, with applications in anti-wear and anti-friction coatings for aerospace, automotive, and energy industries. The grant delivers research infrastructure improvements and workforce development through support for an Assistant Professor fellowship and graduate student training at OSU. The project employs advanced synthesis, microscopy, and chemical characterization techniques—including selective etching, high-speed atomic force microscopy, and in-situ Raman spectroscopy—to quantitatively measure tribofilm nucleation and growth kinetics at the nanoscale. Deliverables include fundamental research insights into mechanochemical reaction pathways and mechanisms, technical training for graduate students in advanced analytical methods, and knowledge contributions to catalyst design that could enhance protective coating performance in harsh industrial environments.Federal Grant Award Summary
