NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONMaterials act as core enablers of transformative technologies that can help address global concerns such as climate change, sustainable manufacturing, and critical materials supply chains. Addressing climate change through adoption of clean sustainable energy will place additional demands on critical materials needed for new and existing technologies. This Square Table will explore the challenge of material constraints to the adoption of clean sustainable energy with particular attention to how the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) approach can help address supply chain constraints on critical minerals and materials. These constraints will be considered within the context of overarching themes of scalability, manufacturability, and sustainability. The scope of the table includes materials used directly in clean energy as well in other applications that impact supply of and demand for such materials. Participants will help to identify gaps in the Materials Innovation Infrastructure and identify the parts that need to come together. The Square Table will facilitate interactions of communities spanning the materials development continuum, including researchers, industry, and end users.TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONThis award is to support a Square Table on Critical Materials for Clean Sustainable Energy, to be held in December 2022. The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) Strategic Plan proposed National Grand Challenges that can be addressed by accelerating materials development as a mechanism to build out the Materials Innovation Infrastructure. This Square Table will inform the scoping of a potential MGI grand challenge through identifying opportunities to accelerate the adoption of clean sustainable energy by addressing critical materials challenges. The four sides of the Square Table will facilitate interactions of communities spanning the materials development continuum: (1) critical minerals/materials community, (2) data/computational (the Materials Genome Initiative), (3) advanced manufacturing, and (4) sustainability. The goal of the meeting is to foster stimulating discussions between individuals whose work at the frontiers of their own discipline may not yet intersect in a substantial way yet but whose exchange of knowledge, thoughts, and ideas could identify research discoveries and directions that have high potential impact on, and may be transformative for, critical materials for clean sustainable energy. The outcome of the meeting will summarize the overarching questions discussed in the meeting, the key challenges and opportunities identified in the meeting, and the new, potentially transformative ideas that emerge from the discussions.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.

非技术描述材料是变革性技术的核心推动者，有助于解决气候变化、可持续制造和关键材料供应链等全球问题。通过采用清洁的可持续能源来应对气候变化将对新技术和现有技术所需的关键材料提出额外的要求。 本方桌将探讨采用清洁可持续能源所面临的材料限制挑战，特别关注材料基因组计划 (MGI) 方法如何帮助解决关键矿物和材料的供应链限制。这些限制将在可扩展性、可制造性和可持续性等总体主题的背景下予以考虑。该表的范围包括直接用于清洁能源以及影响此类材料供需的其他应用的材料。参与者将帮助找出材料创新基础设施中的差距，并确定需要整合的部分。方桌将促进跨越材料开发连续体的社区之间的互动，包括研究人员、行业和最终用户。技术说明该奖项旨在支持将于 2022 年 12 月举行的清洁可持续能源关键材料方桌。材料基因组华大智造战略计划提出了可以通过加快材料开发作为建设材料创新基础设施的机制来应对的国家重大挑战。该方桌将通过解决关键材料挑战来确定加速采用清洁可持续能源的机会，从而确定潜在的 MGI 重大挑战的范围。方桌的四个边将促进跨越材料开发连续体的社区之间的互动：(1) 关键矿物/材料社区，(2) 数据/计算（材料基因组计划），(3) 先进制造，以及 (4)可持续性。会议的目的是促进个人之间的讨论，这些人在各自学科的前沿工作可能尚未有实质性交叉，但他们的知识、思想和想法的交流可以确定具有高潜力的研究发现和方向对清洁可持续能源的关键材料产生影响，并可能带来变革。会议成果将总结会议中讨论的首要问题、会议中确定的关键挑战和机遇，以及讨论中出现的新的、潜在的变革性想法。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为是值得的通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来提供支持。
