0652022AbstractThis proposal will develop a research and training program for graduate and undergraduate students on surface engineering of titanium dioxide nanomaterials, via metal nanoparticles and molecular catalysts with the aim of improving charge separation, and photocatalytic efficiencies. Students will be supervised by Dr. Pnina Ari-Gur and colleagues at Western Michigan University and Dr. Edson Roberto Leite at the Universidad Federal de Sao Carlos in Brazil. Each year for three years two graduate students and two undergraduate students will spend six weeks in Brazil. This program will also use funding from Brazil to bring three Brazilian students a year to work with Dr. Ari-Gur and the US students for four weeks at Western Michigan University. The research activities of this proposal should lead to the development and characterization of new materials that are relevant to environmental decontamination and to knowledge important to solar energy conversion and several reactions of industrial importance.

0652022摘要本提案将为研究生和本科生开发二氧化钛纳米材料表面工程的研究和培训计划，通过金属纳米颗粒和分子催化剂，旨在提高电荷分离和光催化效率。 学生将由西密歇根大学的Pnina Ari-Gur博士和同事以及巴西圣卡洛斯联邦大学的Edson Roberto Leite博士监督。 三年中，每年有两名研究生和两名本科生将在巴西度过六周。 该计划还将利用巴西的资金，每年邀请三名巴西学生与Ari-Gur博士和美国学生在西密歇根大学工作四周。 这项建议的研究活动应导致开发和鉴定与环境净化有关的新材料，并获得对太阳能转换和若干具有工业重要性的反应具有重要意义的知识。
