This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering grant (CFDA 47.041) provides $268,134 to the University of Pittsburgh to research and develop new chemical compounds, called biphasic charge carriers, that can be used to store electric power in redox flow batteries. The overarching goal is to create a new generation of long-duration energy storage technologies to support increased use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. The project will integrate hardware prototypes from a startup company to explore opportunities for commercialization. Additionally, the project will develop educational resources and outreach activities to teach undergraduates the fundamentals of electrochemistry and battery science. Work will be conducted at the University of Pittsburgh from August 2024 to July 2027.
