0938308ChenThe objective of the Symposium on Nanomaterials for Energy Applications at the 2009 American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) Annual Conference is to bring together aerosol researchers who are studying aerosol nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, and nanofilms, etc.) for energy applications, which include, but are not limited to, solar-to-electricity conversion, hydrogen production by splitting water, catalysis, fuel cells, batteries, capacitors, thermoelectric devices. The symposium will be held at the 28th AAAR Annual Conference, October 26-30, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The objective of this project is to support graduate and undergraduate students, who are choosing their future research field and would otherwise not be able to make the AAAR conference and this symposium. This symposium provides a unique venue for communications among aerosol researchers who would otherwise attend conferences more generally focusing on the materials and/or applications and therefore would not otherwise come into close contact. In the aerosol community, traditionally there are more researchers working in the field of controlling aerosol particles as a pollution source. However, aerosol technology is also an enabling technology to produce interesting materials. Selected aerosol and other researchers who are currently leading the field will be invited to speak at the symposium. The symposium thus also serves as a catalyst to attract more aerosol researchers to direct their studies toward energy and particularly renewable energy applications.NSF funding will be used to support the participation of graduate students and undergraduate students. Participation of graduate students and undergraduate students in the symposium will not only benefit the students in their career development but also benefit our society by training competent future workforce in the energy area. Particular efforts will be made to attract and support female researchers and members of minority groups underrepresented in science and engineering.

0938308陈在2009年美国气溶胶研究协会（AAAR）年会上举办的纳米材料能源应用研讨会的目的是将研究气溶胶纳米材料（纳米颗粒、纳米管、纳米线和纳米膜等）的气溶胶研究人员聚集在一起。用于能量应用，包括但不限于太阳能-电力转换、通过分解水产生氢、催化、燃料电池、蓄电池、电容器、热电装置。 研讨会将于10月26日至30日在美国明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市举行的第28届AAAR年会上举行。这个项目的目的是支持研究生和本科生，他们正在选择他们未来的研究领域，否则将无法参加AAAR会议和这次研讨会。 本次研讨会为气溶胶研究人员之间的交流提供了一个独特的场所，否则他们将参加更广泛地关注材料和/或应用的会议，因此不会有密切的接触。在气溶胶领域，传统上有更多的研究人员致力于控制作为污染源的气溶胶颗粒。 然而，气溶胶技术也是一种能够生产有趣材料的技术。 选定的气溶胶和其他研究人员谁是目前领先的领域将被邀请在研讨会上发言。因此，研讨会也作为一种催化剂，吸引更多的气溶胶研究人员将他们的研究方向转向能源，特别是可再生能源的应用。NSF的资金将用于支持研究生和本科生的参与。 研究生和本科生参加研讨会不仅有利于学生的职业发展，而且有利于我们的社会，培养有能力的未来劳动力在能源领域。 将特别努力吸引和支持女性研究人员和在科学和工程领域人数不足的少数群体成员。
