Workshop: Renewable Energy: Solar Fuels GRS, Ventura, CA, January 15 - 16, 2011

主要研究者：Joseph T Hupp机构： 戈登研究会议提案号：1060462标题：可再生能源：太阳能燃料GRS该奖项将为研究生研究研讨会（GRS）提供支持，将在第三次戈登研究会议（GRC）可再生能源之前举行：太阳能燃料。 戈登GRS会议将于2011年1月15日和16日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行。智力优势戈登GRS会议将汇集初级研究人员来自工程、材料科学、化学、生物学和物理学等多个学科的研究生和博士后研究员，共同探讨21世纪的重大挑战：从可持续的、碳中性的来源中可扩展地转换和储存能源。认识到阳光是迄今为止最丰富的可再生能源资源，并且全球可扩展的阳光捕获，转换和储存方法可能涉及燃料生产，GRS将专注于直接从阳光中生产燃料所涉及的科学挑战。 戈登GRS将为与会者提供一个国家的最先进的观点的重要新兴科学的太阳能燃料。 具体而言，演讲主题将集中在？电荷产生和分离的先进架构以及对太阳能燃料催化的分子见解。更广泛的影响戈登GRS会议将提供网络机会和同行正在追求的新研究的观点，从而提高GRS参与者的科学理解。 增强的理解将使这些初级研究人员能够更有效，更有知识地解决全球对可持续和可再生能源的需求所带来的重要科学和技术问题。

Principal Investigator: Joseph T HuppInstitution: Gordon Research ConferencesProposal No: 1060462Title: Renewable Energy: Solar Fuels GRSThis award will provide support for the Graduate Research Seminar (GRS), to be held immediately preceding the Third Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Renewable Energy: Solar Fuels. The Gordon GRS meeting will be held in Ventura, CA on January 15 and 16, 2011.Intellectual MeritThis Gordon GRS meeting will bring together junior researchers (graduate students and post-doctoral fellows) from a variety of disciplines, including engineering, materials science, chemistry, biology, and physics, to explore a Grand Challenge of the 21st Century: the scalable transformation and storage of energy from sustainable, carbon neutral sources. Realizing that sunlight is by far the most abundant renewable energy resource, and that a globally scalable method for the capture, conversion, and storage of sunlight will likely involve the production of fuels, the GRS will focus on the scientific challenges involved with producing fuel directly from sunlight. The Gordon GRS will provide to participants a state-of-the-art view of the important emerging science of Solar Fuels. Specifically, presentation topics will focus on ?Advanced Architectures for Charge Generation and Separation and Molecular Insights into Solar Fuels Catalysis. Broader ImpactsThe Gordon GRS meeting will provide networking opportunities and perspectives on new research being pursued by peers, thereby enhancing the scientific understanding of the GRS participants. The enhanced understanding will enable these junior researchers to contribute more effectively and more knowledgably toward solving the important scientific and technological problems posed by the global need for sustainable and renewable sources of energy.
