The University of Southern California (USC) received a $548,709 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research and Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant supports research to develop new ink formulations based on thiol-amine solvents for low-cost deposition of thin films. Key goals include exploring the potential of thiol-amine inks for depositing lead-free sulfosalt mineral-based solar absorber thin films as well as metal phosphide thin films. The research also aims to provide research experiences for community college students at Cerritos College. The grant period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
