This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of Florida to develop a fundamental understanding of disordered rocksalt oxides as alternative materials for lithium-ion batteries. The $327,477 award, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030, aims to identify key parameters for improving the battery performance of these materials, which have the potential to reduce reliance on scarce cobalt and nickel. The research applies solid state chemistry principles and advanced characterization methods to elucidate the underlying chemical principles governing the formation, stability, structure, and properties of these complex oxides. Additionally, the project incorporates mentorship and outreach through dance-based educational videos to broaden participation in science. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
