Solid State and Materials Chemistry Workshop: Hybrids and Interfaces

第一部分：非技术合成将两个或多个组分结合在一个延伸的固体中的混合材料提供了单一组分材料所不具备的新结构和新特性的可能性。杂化材料在气体捕集、能量转换和储存等应用中起着至关重要的作用。同时，这些材料的复杂性对它们的受控合成和精确表征提出了特别的挑战。这个研讨会由材料研究部的固态和材料化学计划支持，通过将材料化学中通常不交叉授粉的知识的不同子领域的研究人员聚集在一起，为初级和高级研究人员提供讨论混合材料和界面的主题的机会。通过演讲和工作组讨论，研讨会将讨论混合材料研究前沿的主要问题。已经计划了研讨会的广告和邀请，以促进讨论领导者和参与者在人口、地理和科学方面的多样性。研讨会的预期成果是为杂化材料和界面的受控合成、表征和理论提供更好的方法，并改善在该交叉学科领域工作的研究人员之间的交流。第二部分：技术总结各种类型的扩展杂化材料--包括不同长度尺度的无机-有机、有机-有机和无机-无机组合--在发现、表征和建立结构-性质关系方面提出了独特的挑战和机会。2019年10月将在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市举办一次研讨会，主题为混合材料和界面，由材料研究部的固态和材料化学计划提供支持。主题包括混合材料合成、功能表面的控制、地下界面的控制，以及协作和使用先进表征设施的机会。研讨会的日程安排包括特邀演讲、其他参与者的“闪电般的”贡献，以及讨论主要问题的分组会议。已经计划了研讨会的广告和邀请，以促进讨论领导者和参与者在人口、地理和科学方面的多样性。研讨会的预期成果是确定杂交材料和界面的受控合成、表征和理论的战略和研究机会，以及改善在该跨学科领域工作的研究人员之间的沟通。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

PART I: NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYHybrid materials that combine two or more components in an extended solid offer the potential for new structures and emergent properties not available in single-component materials. Hybrid materials play critical roles in applications such as gas capture and energy conversion and storage. At the same time, the complexity of these materials presents particular challenges regarding their controlled synthesis and precise characterization. This workshop, supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program in the Division of Materials Research, offers the opportunity for junior and senior researchers to discuss the topic of Hybrid Materials and Interfaces by bringing together researchers in diverse sub-fields of materials chemistry that often do not cross-pollinate knowledge. Through presentations and working group discussions, the workshop will address overarching questions at the frontier of hybrid materials research. Advertising and invitations for the workshop have been planned to foster demographic, geographic, and scientific diversity among discussion leaders and participants. The anticipated outcomes of the workshop are better approaches for the controlled synthesis, characterization, and theory of hybrid materials and interfaces as well as improved communication among researchers working in this interdisciplinary area.PART II: TECHNICAL SUMMARYExtended hybrid materials of all kinds -- including inorganic-organic, organic-organic, and inorganic-inorganic combinations at different length scales -- pose unique challenges and opportunities in discovery, characterization, and establishment of structure-property relationships. A workshop will be held in Alexandria, VA, on the topic of Hybrid Materials and Interfaces in October 2019, supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program in the Division of Materials Research. Themes include hybrid materials synthesis, control of functional surfaces, control of buried interfaces, and opportunities for collaboration and access to advanced characterization facilities. The workshop schedule is designed to include invited talks, "lightning round" contributions from other participants, and breakout sessions addressing overarching questions. Advertising and invitations for the workshop have been planned to foster demographic, geographic, and scientific diversity among discussion leaders and participants. The anticipated outcomes of the workshop are identification of strategies and research opportunities for the controlled synthesis, characterization, and theory of hybrid materials and interfaces as well as improved communication among researchers working in this interdisciplinary area.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
