Grant Description

The Chemical Catalysis Program supports fundamental experimental and theoretical research directed towards the synthesis and characterization of catalysts and pre-catalysts. This Program accepts proposals on catalytic approaches which facilitate, direct, and accelerate efficient chemical transformations and include, but are not limited to: the design and synthesis of organic, inorganic and hybrid catalytic and pre-catalytic species on the molecular, supramolecular, and nanometer scales; kinetic, mechanistic, and dynamic studies of homogeneous, heterogeneous, biomimetic and biologically-inspired catalytic reactions; characterization of chemical and biochemical catalytic reactions occurring at solid surfaces and/or interfaces; polymerization catalysis; single site catalysis; electrocatalysis (such as water splitting), photocatalysis (such as solar energy conversion); catalytic conversions of fossil fuel feedstocks, biomass conversions, CO2 activation and other energy-related, catalytic processes; combinatorial catalysis approaches; environmentally-friendly catalytic processes; and applications of modeling, theory, and simulation to catalytic reactions. The Chemical Catalysis Program does not support scale-up, processing, transport dynamics, long-term stability studies, and other engineering aspects of catalysis. Biological catalysis using cellular systems (that is, systems that are not biological model or biological mimics) should be directed to other programs, e.g., Chemistry of Living Systems Program or the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (BIO/MCB) or the National Institutes of Health.
