Purchase of Optical Spectroscopy Instrumentation for Time-Resolved Studies of Nanoscale Dendritic Photosynthetic Mimics

化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的这一奖项将允许阿克伦大学化学系购买用于时间分辨光谱分析的光学仪器。 该设备将主要由初级教员大卫A使用。他的研究重点是纳米级树枝状光合模拟物。 这里支持的研究是针对能够模仿光合作用的聚合物系统的发展。 通过光合模拟物的太阳能转换代表了解决当前能源需求的有效方法。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program will allow the Chemistry Department at the University of Akron to purchase optical instrumentation for time-resolved spectrometry. This equipment will be used primarily by junior faculty David A. Modarelli, whose research focuses on nanoscale dendritic photosynthetic mimics. The studies supported here are directed toward the development of polymeric systems capable of mimicking photosynthesis. Solar energy conversion by means of photosynthetic mimics represents a potent approach toward addressing current energy needs.
