IUCRC Phase I: Syracuse University: Center for Solid-State Electric Power Storage (CEPS)

NSF固态电力存储产学研合作研究中心（CEPS）由三所大学组成：南达科他州矿业与技术学院（SD Mines）作为牵头大学，合作大学包括东北大学（NU）和锡拉丘兹大学（SU）。 CEPS的成立旨在提供学术界和工业界之间的整合，以追求以研究为重点的储能创新。该中心使行业，政府和国家实验室能够通过采用关键的固态能源系统来应对安全，高效和环保的能源存储挑战，并在上游基础研究的推动下将其转化为工业用途。 作为一个多学科的合作财团，CEPS将通过利益相关者的大力支持和利用州和国家层面的伙伴关系来获得长期的可持续性。CEPS的智力价值在于解决能源储存方面的重大挑战。该中心旨在创造和提供美国在与绿色技术和环境可持续性密切相关的储能研究方面的领导地位。CEPS在两个具有挑战性的平台上结合了知识，知识产权和研究能力：材料和材料制造。这两个基础平台协同地包括使用原子层沉积的研究，通过行业驱动的研究项目在这些领域进行工程设计，从而为各种应用提供安全和可持续的下一代能源存储。该中心包括来自美国三个州的国家研究科学家团队：南达科他州，马萨诸塞州和纽约，以解决能源部门的直接和长期工业需求。CEPS旨在培养一个包容性的学习环境，教师，员工和学生，无论种族，民族和性别，都可以成长和成功。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智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

The NSF Industry-University Cooperative Research Center for Solid-State Electric Power Storage (CEPS) is comprised of three university sites: South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SD Mines) as the lead university and partner universities: Northeastern University (NU) and Syracuse University (SU). CEPS is established to provide integration between academia and industry in the pursuit of research focused energy storage innovations. The Center enables industries, government, and national laboratories to meet the challenges of safe, efficient, and environmentally-friendly energy storage by adopting critical solid-state energy systems and enabling translation into industrial use driven by upstream basic research. As a multi-disciplinary collaborative consortium, CEPS will acquire long-term sustainability through strong support from stakeholders and leveraging partnerships at the state and national level. CEPS's intellectual merit is in addressing significant challenges in energy storage. The Center seeks to create and provide U.S. leadership in energy storage research closely linked to green technologies and environmental sustainability. CEPS combines knowledge, intellectual property, and research capabilities in two challenging platforms: materials and materials manufacturing. Both fundamental platforms synergistically embrace studies using atomic layer deposition, engineering at the areas through industry-driven research projects leading to safe and sustainable next-generation energy storage for various applications. The Center incorporates a national team of research scientists from three U.S. states: South Dakota, Massachusetts, and New York, to address both the immediate and longer-term industrial needs of the energy sector. CEPS seeks to cultivate an inclusive learning environment where faculty, staff, and students, regardless of race, ethnicity, and gender, can grow and succeed.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.
