This NSF-BSF Project Grant award of $376,826, provided by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research on improving the stability and electrochemical performance of vanadium oxide materials in aqueous systems. The research team from North Carolina State University and partners in Israel will investigate how introducing other transition metals through "heteroatom doping" can enhance the stability of vanadium oxides in water, enabling their use in energy storage, smart windows, electronics, and environmental applications. Advanced in-situ electrochemical techniques will be employed to understand how the doped vanadium oxide structure and composition impact the ion insertion charging mechanism and overall electrochemical performance. This project aims to advance the design of next-generation energy, electronic, and environmental technologies, while also training students in state-of-the-art solid-state materials electrochemistry research.
