Establishment of an REU Site for Fundamental and Applied Electrochemical Studies

将建立一个REU计划，重点是在化学和化学工程的基础和应用研究中使用电化学方法。具体领域包括固体伏安电极表面、固体氧化物电极表面和击打电极材料、氧的扩散和传质，以及使用电化学方法解除酶活性的抑制。REU计划将服务于中西部上段四年制院校的学生，那里的研究机会有限。学生将大量参与研究项目，但也将接触到大学研究项目的方方面面。教师REU参与者将定期向REU学生举办非正式研讨会。每周一次的小组会议将促进学生参与者之间的合作。REU的经验是通过学生的研讨会演讲和提交书面最终报告来完成的，这可能会成为出版物的基础。

A REU program will be established that focusses on the use of electrochemical methods in the fundamental and applied studies of chemistry and chemical engineering. Specific areas involve solid voltammetric electrode surfaces, solid-state oxide electrode surfaces and battering electrode materials, diffusion and mass tranfer of oxygen, and unhibition of enzyme activity using electrochemical methods. The REU program will serve students from four.year institutions in the upper midwest where there is limited research opportunities. The student will be heavily involved in the research project but will also be exposed to all aspects of the research programs at the university. The faculty REU participants will present unformal seminars to the REU students on a regular basis. Cooperation among student participants will be facilitated by weekly group sessions. The REU experience is completed with a seminar presentation by the student and the submission of a written final report which could form the basis of a publication.
