The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $314,920 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Tuskegee University. The grant will fund a collaborative research project focused on the computationally driven discovery and synthesis of novel 2D materials through selective etching. Researchers will combine computational, experimental, and machine learning techniques to develop an enabling process for the electrochemical extraction of atomic layers from 3D precursor materials, with an initial focus on 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes). The project aims to establish relationships between physics-based descriptors and experimental results to enable screening of a large combinatorial material space. High-throughput electrochemical etching and materials characterization will validate the computational predictions. The award also includes outreach to high school students and interdisciplinary training of the next-generation workforce in materials science, synthesis, and modeling. The project period runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027.
