The broader impact/commercial potential of this Partnerships for Innovation – Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) project is to develop a cost effective, safe, and sustainable technology for large scale grid energy storage in the U.S. If successful, the project will dramatically improve the grid’s resilience toward electricity demand/supply fluctuations as well as against natural disasters such as fires and hurricanes that can cripple today’s infrastructure. The project will accelerate the technological understanding of next generation battery energy storage devices, through university-industry joint research and development. Commercialization of affordable and safe energy storage will place power directly into people’s lives, with storage in every home, community, city and locations far from the grid, reducing transmission losses and lowering costs for ratepayers. Positive economic impact will be created from increased small-business partnerships. Due to skilled labor requirements in product manufacturing, commercialization will generate new energy-related job opportunities. Workers trained in this field will gain lasting skills relevant to the rapidly growing energy industry. In line with the U.S. goal to expand energy infrastructure over the next few decades, continued expansion and deployment of distributed energy storage systems would ensure sustained economic opportunities and employment for communities facing employment uncertainties in traditional industries.The project seeks to develop and commercialize a sodium-based all solid-state battery. While today’s stationary electrical storage is dominated by lithium ion batteries, they can be unsafe, costly and unsustainable for continued ubiquitous adoption. In this project, sodium all solid-state batteries may be an alternative, matching today’s batteries in volumetric energy and power density, with improved safety. Sodium-based batters may be able to operate over wide temperature ranges, owing to their use of inorganic non-flammable solid electrolytes alleviating fire hazards risks. Moreover, sodium all solid-state batteries offer much lower costs from the use of highly abundant sodium, eliminating expensive elements. This project will explore fundamental strategies to build a 1 Ah prototype battery with high volumetric energy densities of 600 Wh/L and achieve 80% capacity retention over 1000 cycles. Fabrication costs will be modelled with a target of $80/kWh. These goals are achieved through four major tasks: 1) Design new materials and structures that meet key performance metrics; 2) Develop scalable manufacturing of materials needed to support future large volume fabrication; 3) Modelling production workflow to optimize economic viability of designs; and 4) Evaluation and testing of prototypes that meet target metrics set in the project.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.

该创新合作伙伴关系 - 研究合作伙伴关系 (PFI-RP) 项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力是为美国大规模电网储能开发一种具有成本效益、安全且可持续的技术。如果成功，该项目将极大地改善该项目将通过大学与行业的联合研究和研究，提高电网对电力需求/供应波动以及火灾和飓风等可能削弱当今基础设施的自然灾害的抵御能力。经济实惠且安全的储能技术的商业化将把电力直接带入人们的生活，每个家庭、社区、城市和远离电网的地方都可以储存电力，从而减少输电损耗并降低纳税人的成本。由于产品制造对熟练劳动力的需求，在该领域接受过培训的工人将获得与快速增长的能源行业相关的持久技能，这符合美国扩大能源的目标。未来几十年的基础设施建设，继续分布式储能系统的扩展和部署将确保传统行业面临就业不确定性的社区获得持续的经济机会和就业。该项目旨在开发钠基全固态电池并将其商业化，而当今的固定式电力存储以锂为主。离子电池可能不安全、成本高昂且不可持续，因此在该项目中，钠全固态电池可能是一种替代方案，在体积能量和功率密度方面与当今的钠基电池相匹配，并且安全性更高。由于使用无机不可燃固体电解质，减轻了火灾风险，电池可以在较宽的温度范围内运行。此外，钠全固态电池由于使用丰富的钠而降低了成本，从而消除了昂贵的元素。该项目将探索构建具有 600 Wh/L 高体积能量密度的 1 Ah 原型电池的基本策略，并在 1000 次循环后实现 80% 的容量保持率。目标为 80 美元/千瓦时，这些目标通过四项主要任务来实现：1) 设计满足关键性能指标的新材料和结构；2) 开发支持未来大批量制造所需的可扩展材料制造；3) 建模生产流程；优化设计的经济可行性；4) 评估和测试符合项目中设定的目标指标的原型。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
