Professor Peter C. Searson of Johns Hopkins University is supported by the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program in the Division of Chemistry to investigate the complex interplay between the substrate, nucleation, and surface chemistry that dictates the shape and orientation of islands in electrocrystallization. Since the properties of solid materials are often dependent on crystallographic orientation, the ability to manipulate the shape and orientation of islands in electrocrystallization is crucial to the optimization of electrode materials for fuel cells, batteries, solar energy conversion, as well as in a wide range of other applications. Graduate, undergraduate, and area high school students will be trained in all aspects of the proposed research.

约翰霍普金斯大学的Peter C. Searson教授受到化学系分析和表面化学项目的支持，研究基底、成核和表面化学之间复杂的相互作用，这些相互作用决定了电结晶过程中岛屿的形状和方向。由于固体材料的性质通常取决于晶体取向，因此在电结晶过程中操纵岛屿的形状和取向的能力对于燃料电池、电池、太阳能转换以及其他广泛应用的电极材料的优化至关重要。研究生、本科生和地区高中生将在拟议研究的各个方面接受培训。
