The University of Florida received a $438,528 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. This collaborative research project will deliver fundamental scientific knowledge and design principles for developing selective catalysts that improve biomass conversion efficiency. The primary deliverables include controlled experimental data on dilute alloy catalysts containing isolated early transition metal atoms, advanced spectroscopic analysis of reaction mechanisms, computational models predicting catalyst performance, and established design principles for tuning catalyst reactivity in hydrodeoxygenation reactions that convert lignin and other biomass components into high-value fuels and chemicals. In addition to research outputs, the project will generate educational and workforce development products through training of graduate and undergraduate students in interdisciplinary catalysis research and STEM outreach activities targeting K-12 students. The research synthesis linking model catalyst systems to realistic industrial operating conditions will provide broadly applicable design methodologies that advance sustainable chemical manufacturing by minimizing undesirable side reactions and improving product selectivity and value. These outcomes directly support national priorities in energy security and sustainable manufacturing innovation through enhanced biomass utilization technologies.Federal Grant Award Summary
