Title:
Infrastructure for electrochemical materials acceleration platforms
Agreement Number:
963521
Agreement Value:
$1,254,375.00
Agreement Date:
Dec 1, 2020 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
The Electrochemical Material Acceleration Platforms (MAPs) Project will build an infrastructure to support the accelerated discovery and characterization of new materials in the area of electrocatalysis. Specifically, MAPs couples three leading edge technologies (artificial intelligence (AI), smart robotics, and high performance computing). During the Project, two MAPs will be developed. One will be used for sol-gel synthesis and the other for organic electrochemistry. Each will allow rapid characterization using both physical and electrochemical methods. Each of the MAPs will facilitate high-throughput experimentation that will lead to accelerated materials discovery of catalysts that can be used in technologies developed to produce clean fuels and reduce GHG emissions. The MAPs infrastructure will become part of a network of diverse MAPs, each being developed for different purposes but intended to be complimentary and used for collaborative research and discovery of materials.
