The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was awarded a $200,000 Project Grant from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to develop ionic liquids as safe, energy-dense electrochemical fuels from July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022. This award supports research under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800), which aims to maintain Air Force technological superiority through scientific research relevant to its needs. Specifically, MIT will utilize the funding to research ionic liquids with the goal of creating alternative fuel sources that can safely and efficiently store energy for electrochemical applications of interest to the Air Force. The award provides MIT researchers with two years of funding to conduct experiments and analysis toward developing new energy-dense yet safe liquid fuels that could potentially replace conventional fuel sources.
