U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Cathodic Electrosynthesis of Metal Oxide Films

这个为期三年的美法合作奖由德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校的Krishnan Rajeshwar和N.R.de Tacconi，以及巴黎高等专科学校的Daniel Lincot和同事们获得。研究人员建议对使用可溶前驱物物种阴极电沉积金属氧化膜的机理以及溶液添加剂对阴极氧化膜生长的作用进行研究和联合实验。德州和法国集团为此次合作带来了溶液化学、金属氧化物薄膜和半导体薄膜沉积方面的互补专业知识。该合作利用了法国集团开发的阴极技术。该奖项代表了美国方面向NSF和法国国家科学研究中心(CNRS)提出的联合建议。NSF将支付美国调查人员和研究生的旅费和生活费。CNRS将支持法国研究人员访问美国。这项合作将增进对金属氧化物薄膜电合成及其在光电子、太阳能电池、电致变色、电池和水处理方面的技术应用的了解。

0003726RajeshwarThis three-year award for U.S.-France collaboration involves Krishnan Rajeshwar and N.R. de Tacconi of the University of Texas at Arlington, and Daniel Lincot and colleagues at the Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chimie de Paris. The investigators propose to investigate and conduct joint experiments on the mechanics of cathodic electrodeposition of metal oxide films using soluble precursor species and the role of solution additives on cathodic oxide film growth. The Texas and French groups bring to this collaboration complementary expertise in solution chemistry, metal oxide films, and in semiconductor film deposition. The collaboration takes advantage of a cathodic technique developed by the French group.This award represents the U.S. side of a joint proposal to NSF and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the U.S. investigators and graduate students. The CNRS will support the visits of the French researchers to the United States. The collaboration will advance understanding of the electrosynthesis of metal oxide films and their technological applications in optoelectronics, solar cells, electrochromics, batteries, and water treatment.
