Catalysis of Ion-Exchanged Clay Modified Electrodes (Chemistry)

妇女研究规划补助金的研究机会 项目是在分析和表面的一般领域 化学和电化学的子领域。 期间 自1987年7月1日起的12个月期间，Fitch教授将 进行文献调研和初步实验 这将导致一个重大的研究计划的发展， 粘土修饰电极的面积。 最近的迹象表明， 几个领先的电化学研究实验室 表明在电极处掺入粘土材料 表面可以产生独特且有用的电催化 通过该方法可以实现所需的电化学转化， 经济高效地实现。 费奇教授计划 利用她在土壤科学方面的深厚背景， 电化学，以启动竞争力的发展， 研究计划在她的实验室在洛约拉大学期间， 这个研究规划奖的任期。

This Research Opportunities for Women Research Planning Grant project is in the general area of analytical and surface chemistry and in the subfield of electrochemistry. During the twelve month period beginning 1 July 1987, Professor Fitch will conduct a literature survey and carry out preliminary experiments that will lead to the development of a major research proposal in the area of clay modified electrodes. Recent indications from several leading research laboratories in electrochemistry indicate that the incorporation of clay materials at electrode surfaces could lead to unique and useful electrocatalytic processes whereby desired electrochemical conversions could be achieved economically and efficiently. Professor Fitch plans to utilize her strong background in soil science and electrochemistry to initiate the development of a competitive research program in her laboratory at Loyola University during the tenure of this Research Planning Grant award.
