  1. Design of Electrocatalysts for Renewable Energy Applications – Tethering Heterobimetallic Co/Zr Complexes to Conducting Surfaces Seth Raden, Brandeis University, DMR 0820492 Homogeneous catalysts for renewable energy applications such as the conversion of CO2 (industrial byproduct) into CO (industrially viable carbon feedstock) using solar energy (in the form of converted electrical energy) have been developed using a combination of an early transition metal (Zr) and a late transition metal (Co). The ongoing challenge that this project addresses is how to improve the efficiency of electron transfer from an electrode surface to a catalyst in solution. The ultimate goal is to develop methods to tether heterobimetallic catalysts or precatalysts to conducting surfaces to both improve the efficiency of electron transfer and design catalyst systems that would be useful on an industrial scale. Catalysts with functionalities amenable to “click” chemistry are under development. CO2 Electrical energy CO + H2O
