U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: Spectroscopic Characterization of Electrode Processes/June 1989/Honolulu, HI

该奖项将支持由辛辛那提大学的William R. Heineman教授、犹他大学的Stanley Pons教授和日本横滨国立大学的Katsumi Niki教授联合举办的“电极过程的光谱表征”研讨会。与会者将于1989年6月6日至9日在夏威夷的檀香山会面，以了解发生在电极表面的化学过程的光谱表征技术的现状，以及表征这些表面的新方法。此外，还将讨论电化学与光谱学耦合的新方法，以及可能增强对电极过程理解的未来研究方向。研讨会将汇集电化学化学家和表面表征专家，试图了解如何使用ESCA，利兹，EELS和俄歇光谱等现代电子光谱技术在电化学反应发生前后对电极表面进行光谱表征，以更好地理解这些反应。预计研讨会将产生适用于改进电极的重要结果，例如，用于许多类型的工业和实验室化学反应的具有定制表面的电极。

This award will support a seminar, "Spectroscopic Characterization of Electrode Processes," organized jointly by Prof. William R. Heineman of the University of Cincinnati, Prof. Stanley Pons, University of Utah, and Prof. Katsumi Niki, Yokohama National University, Japan. Participants will meet in Honolulu, Hawaii, June 6-9, 1989, to view the current state of the art of spectroscopic characterization of chemical processes that occur on the surface of electrodes, as well as new methods of characterizing such surfaces. In addition, new ways of coupling electrochemistry to spectroscopy, and also future research directions that may enhance the understanding of electrode processes, will be discussed. The seminar will bring together electrochemists and experts in surface characterization in an attempt to see how spectroscopic characteriza- tion of electrode surfaces by such modern electron spectroscopic techniques as ESCA, LEEDS, EELS, and Auger spectroscopy before and after electrochemical reactions occur may be used to better understand those reactions. The seminar may be expected to yield important results applicable to the improvement of electrodes, such as, for example, those with tailored surfaces, for use in many types of industrial and laboratory chemical reactions.
