The Chemical Catalysis Program of the Chemistry Division of the National Science Foundation will support the research program of Daniel Nocera at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Nocera and his students will investigate the development of catalysts for the photochemical activation of small molecules, including water and hydrogen halides, useful in the generation of solar fuels. The focus of the research is on the expansion of the reactivity of metal complexes to include multi-electron transfer processes for the activation of small molecules relevant to solar fuel production. A combination of synthetic, spectroscopic characterization, and photocatalytic cycle development studies will be pursued. The fundamental understanding resulting from this research will enable the development of solar based renewable energy schemes. Students will be trained in the fundamental science and the public issues relevant to these renewable energy questions. Outreach to the public forms a large part of the work of this research group.

国家科学基金会化学部的化学催化计划将支持马萨诸塞州理工学院的丹尼尔诺切拉的研究计划。 Nocera博士和他的学生将研究用于小分子（包括水和卤化氢）光化学活化的催化剂的开发，这些催化剂可用于太阳能燃料的生产。研究的重点是扩大金属络合物的反应性，以包括与太阳能燃料生产有关的小分子活化的多电子转移过程。 将追求合成，光谱表征和光催化循环开发研究的组合。 从这项研究中获得的基本认识将使基于太阳能的可再生能源计划的发展成为可能。 学生将接受基础科学和与这些可再生能源问题相关的公共问题的培训。 与公众的联系构成了该研究小组工作的很大一部分。
