Description
The
Electrochemical Systems program is part of the Chemical Process Systems
cluster, which includes also 1) Catalysis; 2) Molecular Separations; and 3)
Process Systems, Reaction Engineering, and Molecular
Thermodynamics.
The
goal of the Electrochemical Systems program is to support fundamental
engineering research that will enable innovative processes involving electro-
or photochemistry for the sustainable production of electricity, fuels, and
chemicals. Processes for sustainable energy and chemical production must be
scalable, environmentally benign, reduce greenhouse gas production, and utilize
renewable resources. Research projects that stress fundamental understanding of
phenomena that directly impact key barriers to improved system or
component-level performance (e.g., energy efficiency, product yield, process
intensification) are encouraged. Processes for energy storage should address
fundamental research barriers for the applications of renewable electricity
storage or for transport propulsion. For projects involving energy storage
materials, proposals should involve hypotheses that involve device or component
performance characteristics that are tied to fundamental understanding of
transport, kinetics, or thermodynamics. Advanced chemistries are
encouraged.
