Center for Renewable Energy and Advanced MaterialsWith National Science Foundation support, Norfolk State University will establish the Center for Renewable Energy and Advanced Materials. The Center consists of an interdisciplinary endeavor to help achieve an affordable, sustainable and clean supply of global energy. The Center will develop advanced materials and devices for renewable energy, such as solar, thermoelectric, battery and high-performance low-energy-consuming devices and sensors.Center activities are comprised of three research thrusts (i) Renewable energy harvesting, (ii) Energy storage, and (iii) Low energy consumption and high performance electro-optic and sensor devices. Renewable energy harvesting efforts are devoted to the development and fundamental study of nanostructures based energy materials such as semiconductor nanocrystals, perovskite organic-inorganic lead iodide-based solar cells, organic-inorganic thermoelectric materials, magnetoelectric composites and their measurements of all physical properties, including transient and intensity decay of time-resolved spectroscopy, and simulation and modeling in order to understand the mechanism. These efforts will advance several major energy applications, in particular, solar cells, thermoelectric generators, and other optoelectronic applications.Energy storage research efforts focus on the development and computational study of nanomaterials based Li-ion battery, supercapacitors, and bimetallic cellulose embedded energy storage device and high-performance energy storage devices. Research on the development of energy or power-efficient devices, will focus on biosensors, as well as optoelectronic and energy conversion devices based on artificial nanostructures.The Center for Renewable Energy and Advanced Materials will develop educational materials for the high school, community college, science museum and university levels to advance understanding of sustainable energy technologies, practices and clean energy alternatives to shape the work force and talent pool of the future. Center activities will also enhance the quality of training for a large number of African Americans in this interdisciplinary area.

可再生能源和先进材料中心在国家科学基金会的支持下，诺福克州立大学将建立可再生能源和先进材料中心。该中心由跨学科的努力组成，以帮助实现负担得起的、可持续的和清洁的全球能源供应。该中心将开发先进的可再生能源材料和设备，如太阳能、热电、电池和高性能低能耗设备和传感器。中心的活动包括三个研究重点：(i)可再生能源收集，（ii）能源储存和（iii）低能耗和高性能电光和传感器设备。可再生能源收集工作致力于纳米结构能源材料的开发和基础研究，如半导体纳米晶体、钙钛矿有机-无机碘化铅基太阳能电池、有机-无机热电材料、磁电复合材料及其所有物理性质的测量，包括瞬态和强度衰减的时间分辨光谱，以及模拟和建模，以了解其机制。这些努力将推动几个主要的能源应用，特别是太阳能电池、热电发电机和其他光电应用。储能研究重点是基于纳米材料的锂离子电池、超级电容器、双金属纤维素嵌入式储能装置和高性能储能装置的开发和计算研究。能源或节能装置的发展研究将集中在生物传感器，以及基于人工纳米结构的光电和能量转换装置上。可再生能源和先进材料中心将为高中、社区学院、科学博物馆和大学开发教育材料，以促进对可持续能源技术、实践和清洁能源替代品的理解，以塑造未来的劳动力和人才库。中心的活动还将提高在这一跨学科领域为大量非裔美国人提供培训的质量。
