This $460,667 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research into coupled ionic-electronic-structural dynamics in organic mixed conductors. Connor G. Bischak of the University of Utah will investigate relationships between electronic transport, ion motion, and structural dynamics in conjugated polymers that operate as organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors. These soft polymeric semiconductors can conduct both electronic and ionic charges, making them suitable for applications in bioelectronic, optoelectronic, and energy storage devices. The research aims to address knowledge gaps regarding how to design optimal ionic and electronic conductivity in these systems through studies of reversible and irreversible structural dynamics, ion-dependent effects, and nanoscale imaging of heterogeneous polymer structures. Insights gained have potential to guide synthesis of next-generation organic mixed ionic-electronic conductor materials. The University of Utah acts as sub-awardee to carry out the research and related outreach activities.
