This $299,463 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project between Arizona State University and Cornell University. The project aims to elucidate the impact of microstructural defects on the mechanical and ionic properties of composite electrodes used in all-solid-state batteries. Through tailored synthesis, advanced electrochemical characterization, real-time operando X-ray techniques, and rigorous modeling, the researchers will quantify defect formation mechanisms, monitor microstructural evolution, and determine how these changes influence ionic transport, mechanical resilience, and fracture toughness. This research is expected to advance solid-state battery technology and contribute to sustainable energy solutions. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. No subawards are planned under this grant.
