In this U.S.-Brazil planning visit supported by the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering, Michael Moats at the University of Utah will discuss the details of a collaborative research program with Dr. Adalgisa R. Andrade at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. The researchers plan to study the relationships between material processing and composition on the nanostructure and electrochemical performance of anode catalysts for direct ethanol fuel cells and wastewater electrolysis. The goal of the planning visit is to establish a collaborative research program in a thorough investigation and characterization of electrocatalysts that will affect fields of growing importance as new "green" and renewable energy sources are sought. Improved electrocatalysts can have a broad impact in areas such as energy and the environment. This activity and the follow-on project would strengthen collaborations with foreign scientists and provide international research experiences for students.

在美国-巴西规划访问的国际科学与工程办公室，迈克尔莫茨在犹他州大学的美洲计划的支持下，将讨论与博士Adalgisa R合作研究计划的细节。巴西圣保罗大学的安德拉德说。 研究人员计划研究直接乙醇燃料电池和废水电解阳极催化剂的纳米结构和电化学性能的材料加工和成分之间的关系。 规划访问的目标是建立一个合作研究计划，彻底调查和表征电催化剂，这将影响日益重要的领域，因为新的“绿色”和可再生能源的寻求。 改进的电催化剂可以在能源和环境等领域产生广泛的影响。 这项活动和后续项目将加强与外国科学家的合作，并为学生提供国际研究经验。
