Award Details: Michigan State University received a Project Grant of $304,420 from the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Engineering (NSF ENG, CFDA 47.041), effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The collaborative research project is performed in East Lansing, Michigan. Products and Services: This project delivers research and development aimed at enhancing energy storage system efficiency by utilizing operando plasma—a highly reactive ionized gas—to accelerate electrochemical reactions in metal halide conversion materials. The primary research focus addresses sluggish reaction kinetics in metal-air conversion cathodes, particularly iron oxide (FeOx)-based materials, which exhibit high energy storage capacity and low cost but suffer from slow electron-transfer rates and high activation barriers. The research investigates plasma-material interactions to improve reaction speeds, efficiency, and affordability of next-generation energy-storage technologies. Deliverables include accessible experimental methodologies that enable broad dissemination of results, supporting the integration of clean and sustainable energy sources. Additionally, the project provides educational products through virtual reality experiences, internships, hands-on learning activities in plasma science and energy technology, and public outreach to schools, advancing workforce development in energy research and plasma science. The collaborative efforts leverage NSF Engineering's mandate to foster innovation in engineering research while supporting the Nation's economic strength through advanced energy technologies.Federal Grant Award Summary
