Texas Tech University received a $316,536 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (Engineering program, CFDA 47.041) for the period April 1, 2026 through February 29, 2028. This project advances fundamental science in integrating carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and conversion into a single unit membrane-based process. The primary deliverable is the development and characterization of a bifunctional catalytic membrane that simultaneously captures CO2 from air or concentrated point sources while converting it into value-added products, thereby eliminating the need for separate capture, compression, and transport processes that characterize current sorbent-based approaches. The project will produce scientific knowledge and trained workforce capabilities in catalysis, membrane separations, and advanced spectroscopic characterization techniques. Educational and outreach services are integrated components, including undergraduate and graduate research opportunities for students from Puerto Rico and STEM outreach activities at Navarre Middle School in South Bend, Indiana. The research conducted at Texas Tech University's Lubbock, Texas facility is expected to advance chemical processing industry capabilities and contribute to national climate mitigation objectives through more energy-efficient CO2 management technologies.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
