This $699,770 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports fundamental research into the mechanisms of ion correlations and conductivity in complex ionic systems. Led by researchers at the University of Tennessee, the project aims to develop a molecular-level understanding of how ionic interactions influence the conductivity of polymerized ionic liquids and organic ionic plastic crystals. The team will utilize a range of advanced spectroscopic techniques coupled with molecular dynamics simulations to unravel the relationships between ionic parameters, collective dynamics, and charge transport. This research is expected to yield insights that facilitate the rational design of novel, highly conductive electrolytes for energy storage and conversion technologies. The award will also provide valuable research experiences for graduate students and a postdoctoral researcher, while engaging in outreach activities to K-12 audiences.
