With support from the Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry (MSN) Program in the Division of Chemistry, Luisa Whittaker-Brooks of the University of Utah is developing one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures for all solid-state electrochemical energy storage. While electrochemical systems can store significant amounts of energy, the charging and discharging cycles lead to irreversible changes in the structure and composition of the electrode and electrolyte, degrading performance. Dr. Whittaker-Brooks and her students will use magnetic fields to make electrochemical systems more resistant to irreversible changes, and their discoveries could lead to batteries that store more energy and degrade more slowly. The project will also contribute to the development of a National STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) workforce by providing research opportunities for postdoctoral scholars, graduate, and undergraduate students, as well as high school students, and the team will develop science demonstrations to introduce the concepts and research results to K-12 students at local schools. Under this award, Luisa Whittaker-Brooks at the University of Utah will use non-covalent interactions to interface TiS2 (electrode) nanowires, Li10GeP2S12 (solid-state electrolyte), and self-doped perylene diimide organic small molecules (solid-electrolyte interphase modifier and magnetic moment inducers) to enable the design of magnetic moment-induced (non-metallic) vertically oriented 1D electrochemical systems where their electrochemical properties can be tuned under an applied magnetic field. The studies will integrate: (i) the synthesis and characterization of organic-inorganic heterostructures with tunable interfaces; (ii) elucidation of the electrochemical properties of heterostructures with an emphasis on interfacial charge/spin dynamics correlated to compositional and morphological characteristics; and (iii) the use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetometry to investigate and control heterogeneities, tailor interphases, and guide ion/charge transport in model systems under a magnetic field. The studies could shed light on both materials design and modulation of fundamental physical phenomena by carefully elucidating the role of interfaces and solid-state crystal chemistries on the properties of organic-inorganic 1D heterostructures to promote adaptability, self-healing, control of the complex interphase region formed at dynamic interfaces, and the elimination of detrimental chemistries to extend the lifetime and improve the safety of electrochemical energy storage systems.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.

在化学系大分子、超分子和纳米化学（MSN）项目的支持下，犹他州大学的Luisa Whittaker-Brooks正在开发用于所有固态电化学能量存储的一维（1D）纳米结构。 虽然电化学系统可以存储大量的能量，但充电和放电循环导致电极和电解质的结构和组成发生不可逆的变化，从而降低性能。Whittaker-Brooks博士和她的学生将利用磁场使电化学系统更能抵抗不可逆的变化，他们的发现可能会导致电池储存更多的能量，降解更慢。该项目还将通过为博士后学者，研究生和本科生以及高中生提供研究机会，为国家STEM（科学，技术，工程和数学）劳动力的发展做出贡献，该团队将开发科学演示，向当地学校的K-12学生介绍概念和研究成果。根据该奖项，犹他州大学的Luisa Whittaker-Brooks将使用非共价相互作用来连接TiS2（电极）纳米线，Li10GeP2S12（固态电解质），和自掺杂的苝二酰亚胺有机小分子，（固体电解质界面改性剂和磁矩诱导剂），以实现磁矩诱导的设计。（非金属）垂直取向的1D电化学系统，其中它们的电化学性质可以在施加的磁场下调节。这些研究将包括：（i）具有可调界面的有机-无机异质结构的合成和表征;（ii）异质结构的电化学性质的阐明，重点是与组成和形态特征相关的界面电荷/自旋动力学;和（iii）使用电子顺磁共振（EPR）和磁力测量来研究和控制非均匀性，定制界面，并在磁场下的模型系统中引导离子/电荷传输。 这些研究可以通过仔细阐明界面和固态晶体化学对有机-无机1D异质结构的性质的作用来阐明材料设计和基本物理现象的调制，以促进适应性，自我修复，控制在动态界面处形成的复杂界面区域，以及消除有害化学物质，以延长电化学能量存储系统的使用寿命并提高其安全性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得支持通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
