The goal is creation of foundational knowledge to support thedevelopment of approaches that will minimize climate impacts of energy technologies andmanufacturing. For this FOA, clean energy technologies include approaches to capture, produce,convert, store, and use energy that reduce or eliminate unwanted emissions such as greenhousegases (e.g., carbon dioxide, methane, etc.). These technologies also include approaches such asdirect air capture (DAC) and carbon storage/sequestration to decrease emissions that have beenreleased into the environment from energy production and use. Low-carbon manufacturing refersto manufacturing processes that minimize carbon emissions and energy consumption.Investments from this FOA are anticipated to include awards that build foundational knowledgeunderpinning the Energy Earthshots Initiative.Awards under this FOA will support basic and fundamental research. Applied research, whichseeks to exploit fundamental knowledge to solve specific technical challenges, is outside thescope of this FOA.SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION1

BackgroundThe mission of the BES program is to support fundamental research and capabilities tounderstand, predict, and ultimately control matter and energy at the electronic, atomic, andmolecular levels to provide the foundations for new energy technologies and to support DOEmissions in energy, environment, and national security. Further information about BES researchprograms relevant to this FOA can be found at the following links: Basic Energy Sciences Materials Sciences and Engineering Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and BiosciencesConsistent with its mission, BES has provided continuous support across a wide range ofscientific areas for fundamental research underpinning clean energy applications. BES strategicplanning activities, exemplified in the workshop reports issued on the BES CommunitiesResources website, provide the basis for continued emphasis on research in clean energytechnologies and low-carbon manufacturing. The Research Objectives section below identifiesspecific reports that present Priority Research Directions (PRDs) and Priority ResearchOpportunities (PROs) for fundamental science underpinning topics relevant to this FOA.BES is committed to promoting the diversity of investigators and institutions it supports, asindicated by the ongoing use of program policy factors (see Section V.B.2) in making selectionsof awards. To strengthen this commitment, BES encourages applications led by Minority ServingInstitutions (MSIs), which include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), 1 thatare underrepresented in the BES portfolio 2 and applications led by individuals from groupshistorically underrepresented in STEM. In addition, applications are encouraged from multi-PIand multi-institutional teams that include the participation of MSIs that are underrepresented inthe BES portfolio as well as researchers from groups historically underrepresented in STEM.Research ObjectivesThis FOA solicits new applications for fundamental research to discover, understand, and designnew materials and chemical systems that will enable innovations in clean energy technologiesand low-carbon manufacturing. Applications should emphasize advances in the understanding offundamental chemical and materials mechanisms that control both energy efficiency and atomefficiency (creation of desired products without unwanted byproducts) in energy capture,production, conversion, storage, and use processes important for clean energy technologies andlow-carbon manufacturing. This FOA also requests applications for fundamental chemical andmaterials sciences research on critical materials and minerals, which play essential roles in manyclean energy technologies and manufactured products.1 US Department of Education lists of MSIs and HBCUs in 2021 can be found s/2021eligibilitymatrix.xlsx and storically-black-colleges-and-universities/.2 Information about Office of Science awards can be found in the Portfolio Analysis and Management System ternal/Interface/Awards/AwardSearchExternal.aspx.2

This FOA seeks fundamental research to provide the understanding needed for advances incurrent technologies and for innovations that could lead to new technological approaches,including efforts to advance the objectives of the Energy Earthshots Initiative. Research isencouraged that seeks understanding of the relationships between the chemical mechanisms andthe properties of complex materials that underlie clean energy technologies and low-carbonmanufacturing. For team efforts, interdisciplinary approaches that combine experimental withtheoretical, computational and data science approaches are encouraged.Applications are requested for fundamental scientific research that emphasizes one of thefollowing Topic Areas (TA) as the primary target. The TA must be identified on the covers ofthe preapplication and application to be responsive to this FOA. If the applicant desires,information may be included in the application showing how the research could advance othersecondary TAs but the proposed research must target a single primary TA. Note thatapplications to TA7, Critical Minerals and Materials, are required to explain how the proposedcritical materials research will advance objectives in other TAs.TA1: Carbon-Neutral HydrogenApplications for this topic area should focus on fundamental research to advance hydrogenproduction using clean energy sources, hydrogen storage using materials or chemicalsystems, and hydrogen use as a chemical feedstock or as a clean-energy carrier to powerprocesses. Applications must address PROs identified in the recent BES Roundtable reporton Foundational Science for Carbon-Neutral Hydrogen Technologies. Applications focusedon hydrogen production are encouraged to propose fundamental research addressing one ormore of the Roundtable PROs which can provide foundational knowledge in support of theHydrogen Shot objective “to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen by 80% to 1 per 1 kilogramin 1 decade.”TA2: Solar EnergyApplications for this topic area should focus on fundamental research that advancesapproaches to harness solar energy and convert it into chemical and electrical energy carriers.Applications on solar-to-chemical energy conversions (including hydrogen production andnitrogen reduction) must address PROs identified in the report BES Roundtable on LiquidSolar Fuels. Applications for solar conversion to electrical energy will be considered ifcompelling, innovative research is proposed that will lead to transformative advances andthat addresses both current scientific knowledge gaps and appropriate PRDs identified in thereport Basic Research Needs for Solar Energy Utilization.TA3: Carbon Dioxide RemovalApplications for this topic area should focus on fundamental research approaches to removecarbon dioxide from the atmosphere – Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Removal (CDR). CDR isidentified as “activities that remove CO2 from the atmosphere and durably store it ingeological, terrestrial, or ocean reservoirs, or in products.” 3 Although many CDR approaches3 J Wilcox, B Kolosz, & J Freeman (2021) CDR Primer, https://cdrprimer.org/3

have been proposed for carbon dioxide removal,3,4 the scope of this topic area is limited tofundamental science that can advance the following approaches: direct capture of CO2 fromdilute sources (e.g., ambient air and oceans and surface waters that concentrate CO2 from air)and durable storage of CO2 (e.g., conversion of CO2 to durable forms) which includes CO2incorporation in earth materials (mineralization).CO2 Capture from Dilute Sources: Applications on capture of CO2 from dilute sources shouldcouple hypothesis-driven research on chemical mechanisms with design, synthesis, andassembly of materials with desired functionality. Applications must focus on research thatwill advance the ability to create capture systems that are energy efficient, rapid (e.g.,promote high throughput), and durable. Research is requested to: Discover, understand, design, and control energy-transfer mechanisms to driveprocesses in separation systems, such as to regenerate capture media or to acceleratechemical-materials processes that influence capture rate (e.g., mass transport).Mechanisms that employ electrochemical, magnetic, photo-induced, or reactive steps,or a synergistic confluence of such steps, are encouraged. Research focused solely onthermal mechanisms will not be supported. Understand the fundamental materials and chemical mechanisms that lead tochemical, physical, and/or structural changes of separations media and cause thedegradation of performance and durability. Couple mechanistic studies with the design and synthesis of innovative, robustcapture materials that selectively capture CO2 at high rates and require minimumenergy for subsequent release of CO2. Applications focused on synthesis andassembly science must emphasize hypothesis-driven approaches that integrate datascience and experimental research efforts for a mechanistic understanding and controlof synthesis and assembly pathways.BES issued two solicitations on Materials and Chemical Sciences Research for Direct AirCapture of Carbon Dioxide in FY 2020 and 2021 – a FY 2020 Lab Announcement and a FY2021 FOA – that requested applications in this area. Follow the links to see the Awards fromthe FY 2020 Lab Announcement and the Awards from the FY 2021 FOA. Awards made inthis Topic Area will complement, not duplicate, the FY 2020 and FY 2021 awards.Durable Storage of CO2: Applications must focus on the chemical mechanisms of CO2reactions at material interfaces to form solid carbonate materials that durably store CO2 orconversions of CO2 in synthetic pathways that produce durable functional materials. Studiesof both natural minerals (e.g., CO2 mineralization) and synthetic materials will be considered.Applications in this area should address current scientific knowledge gaps; research onconversion of CO2 to carbonates (mineralization) must also address the PRD on MineralWater Interface Complexity and Dynamics from the report Basic Research Needs forGeosciences: Facilitating 21st Century Energy Systems. Broader aspects of geological4 Negative Emissions Technologies and Reliable Sequestration: A Research Agenda, The National AcademiesPress, ch-agenda4

sequestration technology such as large-scale reservoir integrity and transport, as well asseismic/mechanical reservoir response, are outside the scope of this FOA.Applications in this topic area are encouraged to describe how the proposed fundamentalresearch can provide foundational knowledge to advance the Carbon Negative Shot objectiveto “remove CO2 from the atmosphere and durably store it at meaningful scales for less than 100/net metric ton of CO2-equivalent (CO2e) in 1 decade.”TA4: Energy StorageApplications for this topic area should focus on fundamental research to advance efficient,carbon-neutral approaches to interconvert electrical and chemical energy. The chemicalenergy storage reservoir may be the electrodes of a rechargeable battery, the electrolytestorage tanks of a redox flow battery, a pure chemical compound such as a liquid fuel, or asimilar approach to storing energy in chemical bonds. Approaches should be bi-directional inoperation, interconverting electrical and chemical energy in both a storage and powergenerating mode.Applications focused on electrochemical approaches such as batteries and fuel cells for thepurposes of energy storage must address PRDs identified in the report Basic Research Needsfor Next Generation Electrical Energy Storage. Applications focused on understanding thechemical and materials mechanisms underlying selective, efficient electrical-chemical energyinterconversions should address the PRD “Design Catalysts for Efficient Electron-drivenChemical Transformations” from the report Basic Research Needs for Catalysis Science.Applications in this topic area are encouraged to describe how the fundamental research canprovide foundational knowledge to advance the Long Duration Storage Shot objective “toreduce the cost of grid-scale energy storage by 90% for systems that deliver 10 hours ofduration within the decade.”TA5: Nuclear EnergyApplications for this topic area should focus on fundamental research to elucidate thechemical and materials processes of key components, such as fuels, coolants, and materials,in future nuclear reactor concepts. Nuclear reactors are an option among future energysources because they provide a continuous supply of baseload power without emittinggreenhouse gases. The proposed research should focus on how fundamental atomic- andmolecular-scale processes influence the behavior of key components in the extremeenvironments of nuclear reactors. Applications must address PRDs identified in the reportBasic Research Needs for Future Nuclear Energy.TA6: Transformative ManufacturingApplications for this topic area should focus on fundamental research that lays the scientificfoundations for novel synthesis, processing, modeling, operando characterization, andvalidation approaches for manufacturing. Such approaches must go beyond incrementalimprovements and lead to creation of new, transformative technologies for manufacturingthat are energy- and atom-efficient, including sustainable and circular manufacturingapproaches. Applications must address one or more PRDs from the report Basic Research5

Needs for Transformative Manufacturing. Applications could also address relevant PROs orPRDs from the following BES reports, which complement the Transformative Manufacturingreport: BES Roundtable on Chemical Upcycling of Polymers Basic Research Needs for Catalysis Science Basic Research Needs for Synthesis ScienceTA7: Critical Minerals and MaterialsApplications for this topic area should focus on fundamental research in chemical andmaterials sciences to understand and control processes and properties associated with use ofrare earth elements (REE), platinum group elements (PGE), and other critical materials. Ascritical elements are increasingly essential to properties of materials, catalysts, and relatedsystems that have economic and national security roles, and as availability of criticalelements becomes more restricted, it is important to ensure a stable supply chain, increasetheir efficient use, and identify substitutes that can provide similar or even enhancedfunctionalities with a reduced need for these criti
