The University of Rochester received a $482,077 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2029. The award funds research into thermally coupled tandem catalytic reactions designed to improve energy efficiency in industrial chemical manufacturing processes. The project will develop mechanistic understanding and transferable design principles for using heat generated by one catalytic reaction to power a second reaction, thereby reducing external heating requirements and lowering manufacturing costs in U.S. factories that produce fuels, plastics, and other chemical products. The primary deliverables include fundamental research findings on thermal coupling mechanisms in catalytic systems, validated catalyst designs that selectively promote reverse water-gas shift and carbon monoxide methanation reactions, and the development of in situ microthermometry techniques using photoluminescent upconverting nanoparticles for spatially resolved temperature measurement within reactors. The project also emphasizes workforce development through graduate student training in catalysis and energy science, as well as educational outreach to high school students demonstrating practical applications of exothermic and endothermic reaction coupling. Research will be conducted at the University of Rochester's facility in Rochester, New York.Federal Grant Award Summary
