NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONMaterials act as core enablers of transformative technologies that can help address global concerns such as climate change, sustainable manufacturing, and critical materials supply chains. Addressing climate change through adoption of clean sustainable energy will place additional demands on critical materials needed for new and existing technologies. This Square Table will explore the challenge of material constraints to the adoption of clean sustainable energy with particular attention to how the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) approach can help address supply chain constraints on critical minerals and materials. These constraints will be considered within the context of overarching themes of scalability, manufacturability, and sustainability. The scope of the table includes materials used directly in clean energy as well in other applications that impact supply of and demand for such materials. Participants will help to identify gaps in the Materials Innovation Infrastructure and identify the parts that need to come together. The Square Table will facilitate interactions of communities spanning the materials development continuum, including researchers, industry, and end users.TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONThis award is to support a Square Table on Critical Materials for Clean Sustainable Energy, to be held in December 2022. The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) Strategic Plan proposed National Grand Challenges that can be addressed by accelerating materials development as a mechanism to build out the Materials Innovation Infrastructure. This Square Table will inform the scoping of a potential MGI grand challenge through identifying opportunities to accelerate the adoption of clean sustainable energy by addressing critical materials challenges. The four sides of the Square Table will facilitate interactions of communities spanning the materials development continuum: (1) critical minerals/materials community, (2) data/computational (the Materials Genome Initiative), (3) advanced manufacturing, and (4) sustainability. The goal of the meeting is to foster stimulating discussions between individuals whose work at the frontiers of their own discipline may not yet intersect in a substantial way yet but whose exchange of knowledge, thoughts, and ideas could identify research discoveries and directions that have high potential impact on, and may be transformative for, critical materials for clean sustainable energy. The outcome of the meeting will summarize the overarching questions discussed in the meeting, the key challenges and opportunities identified in the meeting, and the new, potentially transformative ideas that emerge from the discussions.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.

非技术支持材料是变革性技术的核心推动力，有助于解决气候变化、可持续制造和关键材料供应链等全球问题。通过采用清洁可持续能源应对气候变化将对新技术和现有技术所需的关键材料提出额外的要求。 该圆桌会议将探讨采用清洁可持续能源的材料限制所带来的挑战，特别关注材料基因组计划（MGI）方法如何帮助解决关键矿物和材料的供应链限制。这些限制因素将在可扩展性、可制造性和可持续性的总体主题背景下加以考虑。该表的范围包括直接用于清洁能源的材料以及影响此类材料供需的其他应用。与会者将帮助确定材料创新基础设施中的差距，并确定需要整合的部分。该奖项旨在支持将于2022年12月举行的“清洁可持续能源关键材料”圆桌会议。该奖项旨在支持将于2022年12月举行的“清洁可持续能源关键材料”圆桌会议。材料基因组计划（MGI）战略计划提出了国家重大挑战，可以通过加速材料开发作为建立材料创新基础设施的机制来解决。该方表将通过确定通过解决关键材料挑战来加速采用清洁可持续能源的机会，为潜在的MGI重大挑战提供信息。四方桌的四面将促进跨越材料开发连续体的社区的互动：（1）关键矿物/材料社区，（2）数据/计算（材料基因组计划），（3）先进制造，以及（4）可持续性。会议的目标是促进个人之间的激励讨论，他们在自己学科的前沿工作可能尚未以实质性的方式相交，但他们的知识，思想和想法的交流可以确定对清洁可持续能源的关键材料具有高度潜在影响的研究发现和方向，并可能是变革性的。会议的结果将总结会议中讨论的首要问题，会议中确定的关键挑战和机遇，以及讨论中出现的新的，潜在的变革性想法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
