Incorporating a Meaningful Research Experience into the General Chemistry Laboratory Curriculum Through Implementation of Equipment for Materials Characterization

化学(12)这个项目使第二学期普通化学实验室课程的学生能够参与真实的研究体验，涉及作为潜在颜料材料的新型氟化物钙钛矿的合成和表征。该项目源于大学参与了REEL(增强学习的研究经验)联盟，该联盟包括15所俄亥俄州学院和大学，致力于将基于实验室的研究引入一年级和二年级课程。以前，学生们分析别人收集的X射线和光谱数据，而现在，他们正在收集自己的数据。到目前为止，学生们已经准备了大约100个(大部分没有报道)与钙钛矿氟化物相关的成分。在准备这些材料时，普通化学学生提供了一种合成和表征的组合方法。该项目还涉及到一个组成部分，即资助的设备使地质系的本科课程能够整合动手实验。

Chemistry (12)This project is enabling students in the second semester general chemistry laboratory course to participate in an authentic research experience involving the synthesis and characterization of novel fluoride perovskites as potential pigment materials. The project stems from university's participation in the REEL (Research Experiences to Enhance Learning)consortium which includes 15 Ohio colleges and universities dedicated to introducing laboratory based research into first and second year courses. Whereas previously students analyzed X-ray and spectroscopy data collected by others now they are collecting their own data. So far, about 100 (mostly unreported) perovskite fluoride-related compositions have been prepared by students. In preparing these materials, the general chemistry students are providing a combinatorial approach to synthesis and characterization. This project also involves a component in which the funded equipment is enabling integration of hands-on experiments in undergraduate courses in the Geology Department.
