This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program will support a fellowship for an assistant professor and graduate student training at Brown University. The research aims to explore the physical, electronic, and chemical properties of copper-carbon nanomaterials for enhanced thermal conductivity and clean energy applications. The team will use advanced optical and X-ray techniques to investigate electron transport dynamics and the origins of thermal management capabilities in these novel materials. The findings are expected to inform the design of scalable, energy-efficient technologies for electricity, power transmission, and the national power grid. No sub-awards are planned for this grant, which runs from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026.
