This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), supports Professor Evgeny Dikarev of SUNY Albany in studying prospective battery materials that require carbon modulation. The project aims to develop strategies to replace expensive, rare metals in rechargeable batteries with more abundant and cost-effective alternatives like sodium, magnesium, silicon, and iron. Key objectives include preparing atomically-precise single-source carbonaceous precursors to synthesize a range of carbon-coated fluoride, phosphate, silicate, fluorophosphate, and fluorosulfate materials for advanced energy storage applications. The $464,405 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will also support training for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a high school outreach program on chemical fingerprinting. The project seeks to demonstrate the potential of the single-source precursor approach for producing multimetallic, carbon-coated cathode materials with unique characteristics like purity, stoichiometry, nanostructure, and homogeneous elemental distribution.
