U.S. Department of Energy - Basic Energy Sciences:
Basic Energy Sciences (BES) supports fundamental research to understand, predict, and ultimately control matter and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels to provide the foundations for new energy technologies and support DOE missions in energy, environment, and national security.
Energy Frontier Research Center - Mechano-Chemical Understanding of Solid Ion Conductors:
EFRC-MUSIC: MUSIC is one of the 6th Class of EFRCs funded in 2022 and dedicated towards mechano-chemical understanding of ceramic ionic conductors (CICs). MUSIC integrates materials science, electrochemistry, and solid-state mechanics to understand the mechano-electrochemical phenomena underlying the manufacturing and operation of ceramics for advanced electrochemical technologies. The fundamental knowledge created will advance electrochemical energy storage systems such as long-duration energy storage, hydrogen fuel cells, and solid-state.
U.S. National Science Foundation -
NSF-GCR: Supports transitioning teams from multidisciplinary research to research that transcends disciplinary boundaries with novel conceptual frameworks, theories, and methods.
