The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded the University of South Carolina $472,104 on August 1, 2026, to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on electrochemical and chemical energy storage. The program will support ten undergraduate students, primarily rising juniors and seniors in chemical engineering, for a ten-week summer research experience. Participants will conduct research on new battery materials and cell designs, electrochemical hydrogen production via electrolyzers, and hydrogen storage and release methods using chemical carriers. The program includes facility tours at a battery recycling operation and Savannah River National Laboratory, professional development workshops covering research ethics, and attendance at a major chemical engineering conference to present findings. The site explicitly prioritizes students who lack access to advanced research opportunities. The award funds activity at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina, through July 31, 2029. The assistance type is a Project Grant under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering). The program addresses global energy challenges through research on energy conversion and sustainable electrification-focused energy systems, supporting workforce development in areas critical to meeting projected doubling of U.S. energy demand by 2050.
