PI: Wasielewski, Michael RProposal Number: 1332615Institution: Gordon Research ConferencesTitle: Renewable Energy: Interdisciplinary Science of Solar FuelsThis project will support the participation of student and postdoctoral researchers in the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Renewable Energy: Solar Fuels. The GRS and GRC will be held at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in Ventura, CA on January 18-19, 2014 and January 19-24, 2014, respectively. The GRS, which is primarily attended by students and postdocs, and the GRC, which features oral presentations by the leading scientists in the field, will bring together senior and junior researchers, including engineers, chemists, materials scientists, biologists, and physicists, to explore the most outstanding technological challenge of the 21st century: the efficient, and ultimately cost-effective and globally scalable, transformation and storage of solar energy using carbon-neutral sources.The GRS program will feature oral and poster presentations accompanied by informal and formal discussions with a small number of attendees (60 participants). The presentations will be divided into three sessions, in which the most important aspects of solar fuels research and development will be addressed. The first session will be devoted to the light-capture and charge transfer in solid-state and biological/biomimetic systems. The second session will be focused on materials and molecules that can catalyze reactions desirable for the development of solar fuel cells. The concluding session will emphasize integrated systems for solar fuels production. Approximately half of the GRS participants are expected to attend the GRC, where attendance will be capped at 200. The GRC program will include invited and contributed oral and poster presentations by both younger and more established researchers, focusing on the best emerging science in the field. The GRC will provide participants a state-of-the-art view of the interdisciplinary science of solar fuels, with eight topical sessions, two poster sessions, and one final session of late-breaking results and short talks drawn from the poster presentations.This problem is of key importance in developing a sustainable energy economy, as solar fuels will ultimately provide a supply of transportation and aviation fuel from domestic, renewable resources. However, the technical problems are formidable and are in many ways distinct from the well-established technology of solar photovoltaics. The field is inherently interdisciplinary, requiring basic scientific advances on several fronts, coupled with efforts to integrate them into functioning systems. The themes of the GRC and GRS have been chosen to represent the key problems in the field and to stimulate the exchange of ideas between a diverse group of scientists and engineers.The GRC and GRS will promote international collaboration in the science and engineering that underpins the development of a future solar fuels technology to provide a sustainable source of clean energy. It will also provide networking opportunities, mentoring, and perspectives on new research for younger participants at a critical stage in their scientific careers.

主要研究者：Wasielewski，Michael R提案编号：1332615机构：戈登研究会议标题：可再生能源：太阳能燃料的跨学科科学本项目将支持学生和博士后研究人员参加戈登研究会议（GRC）和戈登研究研讨会（GRS）可再生能源：太阳能燃料。GRS和GRC将分别于2014年1月18日至19日和2014年1月19日至24日在加利福尼亚州文图拉的福朋喜来登酒店举行。GRS主要由学生和博士后参加，而GRC则由该领域领先的科学家进行口头演讲，将汇集高级和初级研究人员，包括工程师，化学家，材料科学家，生物学家和物理学家，以探索21世纪世纪最杰出的技术挑战：高效，最终具有成本效益和全球可扩展性，利用碳中性能源转换和储存太阳能。GRS计划将以口头和海报介绍为特色，并与少数与会者进行非正式和正式的讨论（60名与会者）。演讲将分为三个部分，其中将讨论太阳能燃料研究和开发的最重要方面。第一次会议将致力于固态和生物/仿生系统中的光捕获和电荷转移。第二次会议将集中在材料和分子，可以催化太阳能燃料电池的发展所需的反应。最后一次会议将强调太阳能燃料生产的综合系统。预计约有一半的GRS参与者将参加GRC，出席人数上限为200人。 该GRC计划将包括邀请和贡献的口头和海报演示由年轻和更成熟的研究人员，专注于该领域最好的新兴科学。研讨会将为与会者提供太阳能燃料跨学科科学的最新观点，包括八个专题会议，两个海报会议，以及最后一个最新成果会议和来自海报展示的简短演讲。这个问题对于发展可持续能源经济至关重要，因为太阳能燃料最终将从国内可再生资源中提供运输和航空燃料供应。 然而，技术问题是艰巨的，在许多方面不同于成熟的太阳能光伏技术。该领域本质上是跨学科的，需要在几个方面取得基础科学进展，并努力将其纳入运作系统。 选择GRC和GRS的主题是为了代表该领域的关键问题，并促进不同科学家和工程师之间的思想交流。GRC和GRS将促进科学和工程领域的国际合作，为未来太阳能燃料技术的发展奠定基础，以提供可持续的清洁能源。 它还将为处于科学生涯关键阶段的年轻参与者提供网络机会，指导和新研究的观点。
