Crosscut 1: Materials design and synthesis
Develop substrates, scaffolds, surface coatings, and stable electrolytes for aqueous batteries with atomistic control of electrodeposited metals, oxides, and related phases.
Synthesis and design of new materials and molecules is at the core of system design for all six aims of the Aqueous Battery Consortium. While the overarching goal is to create highly reversible, aqueous electrochemical systems based on electrodeposition and stripping, every component of that process is a materials design and synthesis challenge.
The expertise within this crosscut will provide guidance to, and coordination among, all six aims on phase (solid, liquid, and gas) control; nucleation, growth and dissolution of metals; and materials fabrication for substrates and coatings.
The Crosscut 1 team will serve as “mission control” for all synthetic aspects of materials and molecule design vital to the success of batteries based on electrodeposition and stripping.
