The National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research awarded Stony Brook University (through its parent entity The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York) $566,556 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to uncover reaction pathways in solution-phase materials synthesis. The project, led by Dr. Karena Chapman and her research group, combines time-lapse optical imaging, X-ray measurements, and custom reactors to observe how materials form during chemical reactions in real time. The work addresses a fundamental challenge in materials chemistry: solution-phase synthesis reactions are typically treated as a black box, with researchers observing only starting chemicals and final products while the intermediate steps remain hidden. By tracking reaction evolution over time, the project aims to identify when particles first form, how they grow and settle, and how different pathways produce different final materials. This approach moves synthesis away from trial-and-error toward reproducible control of material formation, enabling better preparation of sustainable, earth-abundant materials for advanced energy technologies. Performance occurs in Stony Brook, New York, over the period September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029. The project trains graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in materials synthesis and advanced characterization techniques, serving national interest through advancement of reliable preparation methods for materials relevant to advanced energy technologies, catalysts, separations, and advanced manufacturing.
