U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Ionic Conductivity of Nanostructured Materials

9815788Tuller这项为期三年的美法材料合作研究奖的获得者是麻省理工学院的Harry Tuller和马赛大学的Philippe Knauth。它为福特汽车公司研究实验室在纳米结构、半导体陶瓷氧化物利用方面的GOALI资助增加了一个国际维度。该国际项目将研究纳米复合材料增强离子传导。高离子导电性是开发先进电池、燃料电池、传感器和电催化剂的关键。这位美国研究者为这次合作带来了离子导体和热力学理论方面的专业知识。法国在电化学测量、离子导体复合材料和纳米结构材料的制备和表征方面的专业知识是补充。

9815788TullerThis three-year award for US-France cooperative research in materials research involves Harry Tuller of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Philippe Knauth of the Universite de Marseille. It adds an international dimension to a GOALI grant with Ford Motor Company's Research Laboratories on the utilization of nanostructured, semiconducting ceramic oxides. The international project will investigate nanocomposites for enhanced ionic conduction. High ionic conductivity is key to developing advanced batteries, fuel cells, sensors, and electrocatalysts. The US investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in ionic conductors and thermodynamic theory. This is complemented by French expertise in electrochemical measurements and in the preparation and characterization of ionic conductor composites and nanostructured materials.
