Conference Support 2010 Gordon Research Conference in Solid State Studies in Ceramics - August 15-20, 2010 Colby-Sawyer College, New London NH

非技术描述：支持参加戈登研究会议的陶瓷固态研究：能源应用中的基本现象。会议涉及陶瓷用于锂离子电池和其他能源存储，燃料电池，太阳能，核燃料和氢。NSF的资助将使更多的年轻研究人员和研究生能够参加这次会议，参与与资深科学家的讨论，并以海报的形式展示他们自己的工作。这次戈登会议有21个邀请演讲，与密集的讨论，由一组杰出的专家对实验和理论研究的氧化物材料在电池，用于燃料电池和电化学存储的质子和氧电解质、超级电容器中的氧化物、太阳能光解、核燃料和光化学。 海报会议将提出进一步的研究。这次戈登会议，其重点是详细的讨论和高级和初级研究人员之间的密集对话，提供了一个独特的论坛，交流思想和发展新的合作。 国家科学基金会的支持专门用于初级研究人员，重点是支持妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Support for participants at the Gordon Research Conference on Solid State Studies in Ceramics: Fundamental Phenomena in Energy Applications. The conference involves ceramics used in lithium ion batteries and other energy storage, fuel cells, solar energy, nuclear fuels, and hydrogen. NSF funding will enable a more diverse group of young researchers and graduate students to attend this conference, participate in discussions with senior scientists, and present their own work as posters.TECHNICAL DETAILS: This Gordon Conference has 21 invited lectures, with intensive discussion, by a distinguished group of experts on experimental and theoretical research on oxide materials in batteries, protonic and oxygen electrolytes for fuel cells and electrochemical storage, oxides in supercapacitors, solar photolysis, nuclear fuels, and photovoltaics. A poster session will present further research. This Gordon Conference, with its emphasis on detailed discussion and intensive conversation between senior and junior researchers, provides a unique forum for the exchange of ideas and the development of new collaborations. The NSF support is earmarked for junior researchers, with a strong emphasis on support for women and underrepresented minorities.
