Grants - AWARD SUMMARY


UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS


The Division of Chemistry supports Susan Odom of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) as an American Competitiveness in Chemistry Fellow. Dr. Odom will investigate the feasibility of encapsulating chemical species into lithium ion batteries to give them self-repairing abilities. Dr. Odom will work in collaboration with scientists at UIUC as well as at Argonne National Laboratory. In her plan for broadening participation, Dr. Odom will work to develop educational materials in chemistry for a number of ongoing projects at the Orpheum Science Museum, including their Girls Do Science Club. Research like that of Dr. Odom is aimed at developing new materials for better, more robust lithium ion batteries. The ultimate goal of research like this is to develop batteries with improved performance and longer lifetimes, which will help meeting goals for energy independence and sustainability. The efforts at broadening participation being pursued by Dr. Odom are aimed at increasing the participation of young people from underrepresented groups in the sciences.

Projects and Jobs Information
Project Title Microencapsulated Molecular Regenerators for Lithium Ion Batteries
Project Status Completed
Final Project Report Submitted Yes
Project Activities Description Chemistry
Quarterly Activities/Project Description In the past quarter, the PI has brought projects to completion, which has included finishing last experiments on self-healing electronics. The PI has identified and tested two examples of self-healing circuits involving core-shell microcapsules and has demonstrated 90% of recovery of failed circuits in one case. The PI's manuscript "Triggered Release from Polymeric Capsules" was published, and the manuscript "Damage Indication by Color Change" was submitted. New capsules have been prepared with graphitic carbon suspensions for self-healing circuits, which are more stable than previously reported carbon nanotube suspensions that were incorporated into capsule cores. The PI co-organized a panel called "Demystifying the Tenure Process: An Experimentalist's Point of View," which approximately 100 students and postdoctoral researchers attended.
