The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Howard University $997,380 under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The award will support research exploring the synthesis and recovery of superhard and high energy-density polynitrides at high pressures. Howard University researchers, in collaboration with the Carnegie Institution of Washington, will investigate nitrogen-rich metal compounds that form polymeric structures or large molecules known as polynitrides under high pressure. Using laser-heated diamond anvil cells and synchrotron techniques, the researchers will establish the crystal chemistry, physical properties, and chemical bonding of novel polynitrides synthesized under varying pressure-temperature conditions. The work aims to aid the functional design of new polynitride compounds with industrially relevant properties. The award also provides support for one postdoctoral associate and research opportunities for students.
