This Project Grant award of $225,960.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award, titled "LEAPS-MPS: ELECTROCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ION ADSORPTION AT SOLID-LIQUID INTERFACES", will fund research by Professor Molly M. MacInnes and students at Grinnell College to develop methods for understanding the interactions between dissolved metal ions and solid surfaces, particularly oxides like silicon oxide and metal oxides. The research aims to demonstrate the usefulness of electrochemical techniques for probing these surface reactions, which could enable new ways to monitor the interactions of various ions and molecules at solid surfaces. The project will also integrate outreach activities, including a "Market Science" program where students engage the community in conversations about the research. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027.
