This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $390,597 to the University of Illinois-Chicago from September 2024 through August 2027. The grant supports the development of new organometallic electrolyte additives to improve the cycling stability and safety of high-density lithium metal batteries. The research, led by Professor Neal Mankad, aims to understand how these additives influence the solid-electrolyte interphase chemistry at the anode surface to enable long-term battery performance. The project also includes outreach to provide science coaching for high school students in the Chicago area. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
