MURI Team: The proposed MURI program is a multidisciplinary effort aimed at developing a molecular- level understanding of the fundamental processes that drive complex electrochemical reactions. This research will be carried out as a collaborative effort between Emory University (T. Lian, Lead PI), Cornell University (H. D. Abruña), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Y. Surendranath and A. Willard), University of Pennsylvania (J. Subotnik), University of Southern California (J. Dawlaty), and Yale University (S. Hammes-Schiffer and J. Mayer).

Mission Statement: Advance molecular-level understanding of fundamental interfacial electrochemical structures, processes and catalytic reaction by developing novel multimodal operando experimental probes and comprehensive computational tools and by addressing long-standing challenges in surface electrocatalysis

Thrust Areas: The proposed MURI program contains five closely integrated Thrusts (see research link for details).

Anticipated Outcome: The anticipated outcome of this MURI program will be a transformative molecular-level understanding of electrochemical phenomena, as well as widely accessible multimodal experimental platforms and advanced theoretical tools for understanding, optimizing, and designing next generation electrochemical technologies that are essential to DoD missions.
