In collaboration with the Goldsmith lab at AU, the Farnum lab has received new funding from the Department of Energy. This grant will focus on understanding the mechanisms of ORR electrocatalysis using iron and cobalt based molecular catalysts that contain ligand tethered quinol groups. The metal-ligand cooperativity of between the metal and quinol functionality yields pronounced ORR activity at mild overpotentials. We are excited to pursue this work in collaboration and thankful to the DOE for awarding us this grant!
