Abstract Proposal: OISE-1135734 PI/Institution: Camata, Renato., University of Alabama at BirminghamDr. Renato Camata from the University of Alabama Birmingham and Dr. Daniel de Florio from the Universidade Federal do ABC in São Paulo, Brazil plan to study oxide film materials with high ionic conductivity for applications in fuel cells. The proposed work will create novel thin film electrolyte materials with high ionic conductivity in the intermediate temperature range of 500 to 750˚C. These new electrolyte materials have the potential to create solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that surmount the reliability and cost impediments in current SOFC systems. Materials will be fabricated as thin films at the University of Alabama and characterized at the Universidade Federal do ABC; making the experimental facilities at both universities highly complementary and ideally suited for the success of this project. Furthermore, the US PI is a known expert in the field of oxide deposition via pulsed laser which is the preferred method for this collaboration while the Brazilian PI is a well-published researcher and leader in SOFC materials. This visit will also make it possible for a US PhD dissertation student, to gain an invaluable international research experience as he works on the characterization of the thin films materials under the mentorship of both US and Brazilian experts.

建议摘要：OISE-1135734 PI/机构：卡马塔，雷纳托，阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校的雷纳托·卡马塔和巴西S的美国广播大学的丹尼尔·德·弗洛里奥博士计划研究用于燃料电池的高离子导电性氧化物薄膜材料。这项拟议的工作将创造出在500到750℃的中温范围内具有高离子导电性的新型薄膜电解质材料。这些新的电解质材料有可能制造出固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)，从而克服目前SOFC系统的可靠性和成本障碍。材料将在阿拉巴马大学制作成薄膜，并在ABC联邦大学进行表征；使两所大学的实验设施具有很强的互补性，非常适合该项目的成功。此外，美国的PI是通过脉冲激光沉积氧化物领域的知名专家，这是此次合作的首选方法，而巴西的PI是SOFC材料领域的知名研究人员和领导者。此次访问还将使一名美国博士生在美国和巴西专家的指导下从事薄膜材料表征工作时获得宝贵的国际研究经验。
