The researchers will integrate advanced computer modeling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning with experimental methods to study how catalyst structures evolve during reactions, with the goal of developing more active, stable, and...
- Arizona State University will receive $740,000 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) for a project grant titled "Enhancing CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol by Super-Hydrophobic Zeolite Membrane Reactor." The university, along with its sub-awardee, will develop super-hydrophobic zeolite membranes and a membrane reactor to efficiently produce methanol from carbon dioxide and hydrogen with improved conversion and selectivity. Key activities include...
- This $326,350 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports collaborative research at the University of Delaware and Arizona State University to identify structural features of open framework materials based on silicon, germanium, and tin that can promote fast sodium-ion diffusion. The research aims to better understand the electrochemical behavior of these materials and how their structural properties...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $575,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The grant supports a 3-year research project led by Professor Gerard Parkin to study the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of alkylperoxide, hydroperoxide, and fluoromethyl compounds of earth-abundant metals like magnesium, calcium, and zinc. This research aims to reduce the chemical industry's...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $590,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The funding supports a 3-year research project led by Professor T. Don Tilley that aims to expand the understanding of chemical compounds incorporating both transition metals and silicon. Key objectives include studying new silicon-metal bonding structures and developing molecular silicide compounds to...
This $249,999 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research to elucidate the role of seed chemical composition in interzeolite transformation synthesis. The project, conducted by the San Jose State University Research Foundation, investigates a promising zeolite synthesis technique that could lead to the development of improved catalysts and adsorbent materials. The research aims to advance fundamental understanding of zeolite synthesis processes in order to enable enhanced catalytic and adsorptive materials for various commercial applications. This grant award also helps connect early-career researchers and students to issues that could benefit from the resulting technological advances, addressing a significant decline in essential zeolite synthesis research in the United States over the past 30 years.
