"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)." The Analytical and Surface Chemistry (ASC) program supports the research project of Prof. Andrew Bocarsly of the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University. Prof. Bocarsly and his students will study the mechanism of electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to methanol. This 6-electron reduction process is very complex and its mechanism is not fully understood. Increasing our mechanistic understanding of this reduction process may lead to new ways to convert CO2 to liquid fuel, which would be a great advance in the field of energy and sustainability. The study will provide graduate and undergraduate students with excellent training opportunities in a field of great societal importance. Prof. Bocarsly will also be involved in several outreach activities at Princeton aiming to attract K-12 students and their teachers to science.

“该裁决是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。”分析和表面化学（ASC）计划支持普林斯顿大学化学系的安德鲁教授的研究项目。 Bocarsly教授和他的学生将研究将二氧化碳降低到甲醇的电化学机制。 这个6电子还原过程非常复杂，其机制尚未完全理解。 提高我们对这种减少过程的机械理解可能会导致将CO2转换为液体燃料的新方法，这将是能源和可持续性领域的巨大进步。 这项研究将为毕业生和本科生提供极大的社会重要性领域的培训机会。 Bocarsly教授还将参与普林斯顿大学的几项外展活动，目的是吸引K-12学生及其老师进入科学。
