Particulate matter is a significant air pollutant, and it has been linked to premature cardiovascular and respiratory deaths in metropolitan areas, as well as lung cancer. Since the recycling of these highly concentrated hazardous carcinogenic materials is not yet viable, tons of these air pollutants are released into the air every day. This research program aims to re-purpose toxic combustion waste as a valuable material for energy storage applications. The study will generate knowledge about the relationship between the physical properties of particulate matter-based materials and their electrochemical performance in energy storage devices. The integration of research and education will be achieved via several mechanisms, including developing an electrochemical elective course for college students, workshops for high-school teachers, and outreach activities for local high school students from underrepresented populations. Student researchers in the program will be trained in the interdisciplinary areas of engineering, electrochemistry, material science, and physics. Educational efforts will strengthen the pipeline of engineers for industries involved in developing cleaner technologies. This project aims to identify the relationship between the electrochemical and physical properties of carbon-based waste in energy storage applications as a charge-storage material and as a conductive carbon additive. The project has three specific aims. The first aim is to develop methodologies to capture and process particulate matter from environmental waste sources such as marine and ocean-going vessels. The particulate matter generated from these sources contains additional pollution elements, such as sulfur. The second aim is to characterize the physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties of particulate matter for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries by conducting a series of microscopy, spectroscopy, and electrochemical measurements. The third aim is to identify charge storage mechanisms and chemo-mechanical stability of particulate matter-based electrodes by conducting in-situ stress/strain measurements and ex-situ structural, chemical, and morphological characterizations. Innovative advancements in recycling and re-use of toxic particulate matter in energy storage devices will contribute to reshaping design of energy management and environmental systems.This project is co-funded by the CBET Environmental Sustainability program and the CBET Electrochemical Systems program.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.

颗粒物是一种重要的空气污染物，它与大都市地区的心血管和呼吸道死亡以及肺癌有关。由于这些高度浓缩的危险致癌材料的回收尚不可行，因此每天将大量这些空气污染物释放到空中。该研究计划旨在将有毒燃烧废物重新使用，作为用于存储应用的宝贵材料。该研究将产生有关基于物质材料的物理特性与其在储能设备中的电化学性能之间的关系的知识。研究和教育的整合将通过多种机制来实现，包括为大学生开发电化学选修课程，高中老师的研讨会以及为来自代表性不足的人群的当地高中生的外展活动。该计划的学生研究人员将在工程，电化学，材料科学和物理学的跨学科领域进行培训。教育工作将加强与开发清洁技术有关的行业的工程师的渠道。该项目旨在确定基于储能应用中碳基废物的电化学和物理性质之间的关系，作为一种电荷存储材料和导电碳添加剂。该项目具有三个特定的目标。第一个目的是开发从海洋和远洋船只等环境废物来源捕获和处理颗粒物的方法。这些来源产生的颗粒物包含其他污染元素，例如硫。第二个目的是通过进行一系列显微镜，光谱和电化学测量值来表征锂离子和Na-ion电池的物理，化学和电化学特性。第三个目的是通过进行原位应力/应变测量和前原位结构，化学和形态特征来确定基于颗粒物质的电极的电荷存储机制和化学机械稳定性。储能设备中有毒颗粒物的回收和重复使用方面的创新进步将有助于重塑能源管理和环境系统的设计。该项目由CBET环境可持续性计划和CBET电化学系统计划共同筹集，这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务和审查的范围。
