This $201,681 National Science Foundation award through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds research at Worcester Polytechnic Institute to develop new classes of iron hydroxide layered materials for energy storage applications. Professor Xiaowei Teng will exploit the redox properties of iron hydroxide to enable its use as an anode in iron-nickel alkaline batteries or iron-air alkaline batteries. The research aims to control the local structure and long-range order of iron hydroxide to facilitate reversible insertion and extraction of divalent anions like carbonate. It also seeks to understand how anion insertion impacts the oxidation state of iron species to encourage complete conversion between Fe2+ and Fe3+ without forming Fe3O4. Maintaining a stable layered structure during long-term cycling will also be explored. The award period is from September 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024.
