Career Award Funds CO2 Photocatalysis Study
HOUSTON, Texas, June 20, 2014 — Rice University professor Isabell Thomann has received a $400,000 Career Award from the National Science Foundation to study photocatalytic reactions that could reduce carbon dioxide emitted by power plants. Her five-year research project involves developing tunable femtosecond time-resolved Raman spectroscopy techniques to probe little-understood aspects of photochemical reactions. “It’s rare that a [chemical] reaction goes directly from A to B,” Thomann said.
