Grant Description

NOTE: This descriptive area provides an overview of Area of Interest 2A only. YOU MUST READ THE ENTIRE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT DOCUMENT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PREPARE AN APPLICATION UNDER A SPECIFIC AREA OF INTEREST. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to access the Funding Opportunity Announcement. AREA 2- MATERIAL SCIENCE 2A - Novel New Materials for Energy Conversion from Coal New materials ideas and concepts that stretch beyond the current state of the art are required to maximize energy extraction from the Nations domestic resources of coal with minimal environmental impact, and to ensure the Nations long-term energy security. Grant applications are sought for new material concepts in the following five specific areas related to fossil energy systems: (1) novel coating systems for thermal and/or environmental protection in advanced combustion systems; (2) new structural materials for high-temperature applications that stretch beyond the capabilities of current-generation superalloys; (3) new high-performance electrode and electrolyte materials for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells operating at temperatures between 600/degrees/ and 850/degrees/C; (4) new materials that improve system efficiencies through waste heat recovery; and (5) novel membrane systems for oxygen, hydrogen, or carbon monoxide separations. Incremental improvements in the performance of existing materials are not the goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA); rather the focus is on the development of new materials with high performance potential that have not been previously considered or identified for Fossil Energy Applications. Reliability of performance, fabricability, and affordability are also key viability indicators for these new material concepts. Interested parties looking to submit an application under this area of interest can download the application package at the following link by clicking on the Application button in the top right-hand corner of the screen:
