Energy storage at an affordable cost has emerged as one of the challenging issues for the energy sector, being critical for a wide range of applications ranging from electric vehicles to grid storage of renewable electricity. The high cost and scarcity of lithium and transition metal (Cobalt) resources has become a bottleneck for the development of Li-ion batteries for these larger capacity applications of energy storage and transport propulsion. Developing efficient lithium-free and transition metal-free battery technology with affordable and sustainable resources is an important research topic for advanced energy storage. This project explores battery systems beyond Li-ion batteries with emphasis on sodium-ion batteries and other potential high energy chemistries based upon magnesium (Mg) and aluminum (Al). A key enabling factor of this project is the implementation of lightweight, abundant, inexpensive, sustainable, and recyclable metal-free organic/polymer materials as promising cathodes for Na/Mg/Al batteries. Innovative structure design and facile fabrication approaches will be studied to enable the high energy, fast charge, and long lifetime batteries. Research activities will involve the training of graduate students, undergraduate researchers, and high school students, and will promote gifted minority students into the energy science ranks. A key goal of this project is to integrate research and education of high school, undergraduate, M.S. and Ph.D. students. The combined research and educational activities will provide a strong platform to train students with computational and hands-on skills in material science, chemistry, and energy science fields.The objective of this project is to seek fundamental understanding of the material structure -electrochemical performance relationships in Na-ion and multivalent metal (Mg/Al) batteries at the molecular and device levels. This project integrates multidisciplinary research, education, and outreach for sustainable energy storage beyond Li-ion batteries. Novel organic materials and polymers will be designed and synthesized with multi-functional reaction centers in one molecular unit to enhance the battery energy capacity. Extensive structural characterizations including in situ X-ray diffractometry, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and pair distribution function analysis, will be performed to understand how the structure of organic/polymer materials determines the cation insertion/extraction mechanism and kinetics. The knowledge gained in these studies will be used to design and fabricate new organic/polymer materials to optimize the battery performance. These novel structures will significantly enhance the utilization, reaction kinetics, and stability of organic/polymer materials during charge/discharge cycles, thus improving overall energy density, power density, and cycle life. The investigation of organic/polymer materials will also include the investigation of ultralow temperature organic batteries to extend the applications of these sustainable energy storage devices in extremely cold areas such as South/North poles, and outer space.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

以负担得起的成本存储已经成为能源领域的具有挑战性的问题之一，对于从电动汽车到可再生电力的电网存储的广泛应用至关重要。锂和过渡金属（钴）资源的高成本和稀缺性已成为开发锂离子电池的瓶颈，用于这些更大的能源储能和运输推进的容量应用。开发有效的无锂和过渡金属电池技术，具有负担得起的可持续资源是高级储能的重要研究主题。该项目探索了锂离子电池以外的电池系统，重点是基于镁（MG）和铝（AL）的钠离子电池和其他潜在的高能化学。该项目的关键因素是实施轻巧，丰富，廉价，可持续和可回收的无金属有机/聚合物材料，作为NA/MG/AL电池的有前途的阴极。将研究创新的结构设计和便捷的制造方法，以实现高能量，快速充电和长终身电池。研究活动将涉及研究生，本科研究人员和高中生的培训，并将促进有天赋的少数民族学生晋升为能源科学级别。该项目的一个关键目标是整合高中，本科生的研究和教育。和博士学生。合并的研究和教育活动将为培训材料科学，化学和能源科学领域的计算和动手技能的学生提供一个强大的平台。该项目的目的是寻求对NA-ION-ION-ION-ION-METIAL和多价金属（MG/AL）电池的基本了解 - 分子和设备水平。该项目集成了多学科研究，教育和外展，以供锂离子电池以外的可持续能源存储。新型有机材料和聚合物将与一个分子单元中的多功能反应中心设计和合成，以增强电池能量的能力。将进行广泛的结构特征，包括原位X射线衍射法，固态核磁共振光谱和配对分布函数分析，以了解有机/聚合物材料的结构如何确定阳离子插入/提取机制和动力学。这些研究中获得的知识将用于设计和制造新的有机/聚合物材料以优化电池性能。这些新型结构将显着增强充电/放电周期期间有机/聚合物材料的利用，反应动力学和稳定性，从而改善了总能量密度，功率密度和循环寿命。对有机/聚合物材料进行的调查还将包括对超高温有机电池进行调查，以扩大这些可持续的能量存储设备在极端冷的区域（例如南/北极）和外太空的应用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过该基金会的知识绩效和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
