Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) received a $396,687 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering, Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041) on June 15, 2026, with completion targeted for August 31, 2027. The project deliverables focus on elucidating solvation structures in solvent-in-salt electrolytes for high-voltage alkali-metal batteries. The research will develop and apply advanced characterization methodologies to measure the structure and dynamics of concentrated battery electrolytes at both bulk and interface levels, addressing current gaps in understanding short-to-long-range solvation structures and their effects on transport properties and electrochemical stability—critical knowledge for advancing high-energy-density battery development for electric vehicle applications. The award integrates research findings with educational initiatives to maximize broader impacts. Deliverables include incorporation of research outcomes into university coursework, fostering interdisciplinary research competencies among undergraduate and graduate students, and implementation of an annual workshop on battery energy storage for local high school students and educators. This education-research integration is designed to expand NSF program reach, promote STEM engagement, and establish reliable methods for characterizing electrolyte properties that inform rational design of next-generation battery electrolytes. Work will be performed at Virginia Tech's Blacksburg, Virginia facility.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
