This HBCU-RISE proposal will allow Norfolk State University to establish the resources and research capabilities for the development of novel and functional materials for renewable energy in the Center for Materials Research (CMR)and Engineering department. The research components under this proposal are: (a) Development and enhancement of capability of fabrication of thin multi-Junction films for solar cells applications; (b) Development and enhancement of capability of fabrication of low bandgap Polymers for solar cells applications; and (c) Development of nanostructures for hybrid solar cells and nanobatteries. The proposed project will provide the resources to develop the Center's infrastructure by broadening its research capabilities, with the addition of materials for renewable energy, their design and preparation, and increase the Center's human resources capacity by the training the young faculty researchers to become independent investigators and also increase the opportunities for training in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) among underrepresented minority groups

这项HBCU-RISE提案将允许诺福克州立大学在材料研究中心（CMR）和工程系为可再生能源的新型功能材料的开发建立资源和研究能力。本提案下的研究内容是：(a)发展和提高用于太阳能电池的多结薄膜的制造能力；(b)发展和提高用于太阳能电池的低带隙聚合物的制造能力；(c)开发用于混合太阳能电池和纳米电池的纳米结构。该项目将提供资源，通过扩大研究能力来发展中心的基础设施，增加可再生能源材料的设计和制备，并通过培训年轻的教师研究人员成为独立的研究人员来增加中心的人力资源能力，并增加在代表性不足的少数群体中接受材料科学与工程（MSE）培训的机会
