Awards: G1847291448, PURPOSE: THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP OPERANDO HIGH-THROUGHPUT RESONANT INELASTIC X-RAY SCATTERING CAPABILITIES FOR STUDIES OF CO2 REDUCTION CATALYSTS. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: THE RESEARCHERS WILL DEVELOP A GAS DELIVERY SYSTEM INTEGRATED WITH A MASS SPECTROMETER AND PERFORM CELL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES. THESE SYSTEMS WILL BE INTEGRATED WITH A RESONANT INELASTIC X-RAY SCATTERING ENDSTATION BEING DEVELOPED AT NIST'S SOFT X-RAY BEAMLINE.EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE RESEARCHERS WILL BE REPORT RIXS MEASUREMENTS ON CO2 REDUCTION CATALYSTS, PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO STRUCTURE-REACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE GAS DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND CELLS DEVELOPED HERE CAN BE USED BY STAKEHOLDERS LEVERAGING THE RELEVANT MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES TO ACCELERATE CATALYST TECHNOLOGIES. THE REPORTED DATA WILL ALSO BENEFIT SYNTHETIC CHEMISTS AND THEORETICIANS WORKING TOWARD THE RATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF IMPROVED CATALYSTS AND MODELS, RESPECTIVELY.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT INTEND TO SUBAWARD FUNDS.
