  In Chemistry, “sustainability” refers to the creation and adoption of processes that efficiently generate energy or materials at minimal cost to the environment as a whole. Examples of such processes include, for instance, the transformation of abundant solar energy into chemical fuels, or the reduction in energy costs required to turn one material into another through the use of specifically engineered catalysts. NSF support permitted us to develop and apply theoretical models to understand the fundamental chemical mechanisms of a number of different chemical processes, including the generation of hydrogen gas as a fuel from the oxidation of water, the reduction of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to the useful chemical formic acid, and the activation of molecular oxygen to accomplish chemistry mimicking that carried out by enzymes, e.g., taking hydrocarbons to value-added commodity chemicals.

   

  Essentially all of the theoretical work enabled by this support was undertaken in collaboration with experimental groups in the United States and around the world. The
