The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded Purdue University $412,020 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct a fundamental study of adsorption and reaction mechanisms for selective electrocatalytic hydrogenations of light hydrocarbons. Performance runs through July 31, 2029, at Purdue's West Lafayette, Indiana campus. Professor Brian M. Tackett will investigate how chemical reactants behave differently in electricity-driven versus heat-driven processes, using specialized tools to track molecular transformation toward desired products. The research aims to enable design of reactors tuned specifically for electrical power rather than thermal input, with potential applications to manufacturing processes for food products, cosmetics, fuels, and lubricants. Tackett will incorporate findings into standard chemical engineering courses and undergraduate research programs, including development of new research methods emerging from the work. This is a Project Grant, a form of assistance funding.
