The University of Michigan's Regents, through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Division, received a $418,576 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) effective September 1, 2026, with completion targeted for August 31, 2029. The project investigates the selectivity and mechanisms of hydroxyl radical-mediated electrochemical methane oxidation reaction (EMOR) to convert methane gas into methanol, a liquid chemical product with commercial applications. The research will develop heterostructured electrocatalyst materials and advanced electroanalytical measurement techniques—including cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and controlled electrolysis—to optimize methane conversion rates, product selectivity, and identify favorable reaction pathways. Initial experiments will employ conductive diamond electrodes to assess hydroxyl radical generation, followed by evaluation of composite conductive diamond-metal oxide catalysts to improve efficiency. Beyond research outcomes, the project integrates workforce development by embedding educational components into the research initiative, including undergraduate and graduate curriculum development, student research training, and K-12 outreach activities. The deliverables are intended to establish scientific foundations for future methane conversion technologies that could reduce methane emissions from industrial facilities such as wastewater treatment plants and support advanced manufacturing with improved resource utilization. The research is positioned to contribute to air quality improvement and pollution reduction in communities proximate to methane-generating operations.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
