Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a five-year CAREER grant of $471,118 to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station beginning March 1, 2026, and concluding February 28, 2031. The award supports fundamental research on mechanism-guided synthesis of MXenes—two-dimensional nitride materials derived from earth-abundant transition metals such as titanium, vanadium, chromium, and molybdenum. The research aims to develop new MXene phases with improved stability compared to existing carbide variants, utilizing real-time characterization, advanced synthesis techniques, and computational modeling to establish relationships between atomic structure and material properties. Anticipated applications span clean energy, energy storage, quantum computing, and electrochemical manufacturing. In addition to research deliverables, the project integrates significant educational and workforce development components. The grant supports K-12 student engagement through the On-the-Fly Lab program, a summer research initiative for undergraduates from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and mentoring, career development, and international collaboration opportunities for U.S. graduate students. These integrated research and educational activities reflect the NSF's emphasis on advancing scientific knowledge while strengthening the Nation's scientific workforce across multiple educational levels.
