Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute on Materials for Energy Conversion and Environmental Protection, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, September 2003

0220839这个由美国国家科学基金会(NSF)和能源部(DOE)联合资助的泛美高级研究学院(PASI)能源转换和环境保护材料奖，由西北大学张荣平博士与Dr。里约热内卢天主教大学的吉列尔莫·索罗扎诺。拟议的PASI将于2003年9月的第一周在巴西里约热内卢举行。节能、储能和环境修复领域的专家将发表演讲，并邀请学生参加讨论。讲师将讨论燃料电池设计和应用的新材料和新工艺，氢气产生的新催化材料，以及碳和金属材料用于储氢。PASI的另一部分将致力于一系列污染物的环境保护和减排研究。参加本次PASI的学生将制定一个合作研究计划，并了解与节能相关的最新研究。

0220839ChangThis Pan American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) award on Materials for Energy Conversion and Environmental Protection, jointly supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE), is being organized by Dr. R. P. H. Chang of Northwestern University in collaboration withDr. Guillermo Solorzano of the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. The proposed PASI will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during the first week of September 2003. Experts in fields of energy conservation, energy storage and environmental remediation will present lectures and engage students in discussion sessions. Lecturers will discuss new materials and processes for fuel cell design and applications, new catalytic materials for hydrogen gas generation, and the use of carbon and metallic materials for hydrogen storage. Another part of the PASI will be devoted to the study of environmental protection and emissions reduction for a range of pollutants. Students participating in this PASI will develop a collaborative research plan and gain an understanding of the latest research related to energy conservation.
