This proposal was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering initiative, NSF 02-148, category NIRT. Recent advances in microwave synthesis that promise to revolutionize the time required to fabricate catalysts at the nanoscale. Zeolites, mixed metal oxides and mesoporous molecular sieves typically can require extended synthesis times because of slow nucleation and growth of ordered structures. This project promises to greatly reduce the time required for preparing an array of materials, and it will also fundamentally advance our understanding of nanoporous crystalline materials synthesis. A multidisciplinary team having an excellent track record in the proposed area of research, will address synthesis, characterization and theoretical aspects of catalysis by these materials. Graduate students will clearly benefit from the interdiscplinary environment, and there will be strong participation in the on-going Northeast Alliance REU program involving minority students. The research program will forge ties with industry also.

该提案是响应纳米科学与工程倡议，NSF 02-148，类别NIRT。 微波合成的最新进展有望彻底改变在纳米尺度上制造催化剂所需的时间。沸石、混合金属氧化物和中孔分子筛通常可能需要延长的合成时间，因为有序结构的缓慢成核和生长。 该项目有望大大减少制备材料阵列所需的时间，也将从根本上推进我们对纳米多孔晶体材料合成的理解。 一个多学科的团队在拟议的研究领域有着良好的记录，将解决这些材料催化的合成，表征和理论方面的问题。 研究生将明显受益于跨学科的环境，并将在正在进行的东北联盟REU计划涉及少数民族学生的强烈参与。该研究项目还将与工业界建立联系。
