Purdue University received a $420,988 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, to develop novel fire-retardant additives for lithium-ion battery electrolytes. The research addresses critical fire safety barriers in battery technology by engineering non-flammable or low-flammability electrolytes that raise thermal decomposition temperatures and reduce catastrophic failure risks. The project delivers three integrated research objectives: quantifying how flame-retardant additives affect electrochemical performance and protective surface layer formation; determining thermal stability changes and mapping ignition probability mechanisms; and evaluating safety under abusive conditions to develop and validate improved electrolyte formulations that enhance both safety and performance. The grant supports fundamental research with direct applications across transportation, aerospace, consumer electronics, renewable energy storage, and medical technologies. Additionally, the award includes educational and workforce development components through engagement of undergraduate and graduate researchers and partnerships with high school teachers, with intentional recruitment of students from groups historically underrepresented in engineering. The research employs a multidisciplinary, quantitative approach and is conducted at Purdue University's West Lafayette, Indiana campus.Federal Grant Award Summary
