项目摘要

This Faculty Early Career Development Program award to Dr. Sarah Tolbert of the University of California is supported by the Advanced Materials and Processing Program in the Chemistry Division. The focus of the research will be the synthesis of new mesoporous intermetallic Zintl phase clusters, and controlling their assembly, order and orientation using surfactants in solvents. The ultimate goal of the program will be the synthesis of complex periodic structures that contain rigid inorganic nanostructured framework with a wide range of metallic and semiconducting phases. Potential applications of these materials will be in size-selective electrochemical sensors and photovoltaic cells. The educational plan will be to design new experiments in Materials Chemistry for upper-division undergraduates with interdepartmental activities to explore connections between materials and their properties, and to expose students to a variety of materials related approaches and solutions.Nanoclusters with controlled structure, pore size and functions will be prepared for high performance applications in catalysis, electrochemical sensors and electrooptic devices. The teaching part of the award will provide excellent training opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students in different aspects of Materials Chemistry, including synthesis, characterization, study of structure-function relationships and fabrication of optical devices such as light emitting diodes.

加州大学萨拉·托尔伯特博士获得的教师早期职业发展计划奖得到了化学系先进材料和加工计划的支持。研究重点是合成新型介孔金属间Zintl相簇，并使用溶剂中的表面活性剂控制它们的组装、有序和取向。该计划的最终目标是合成复杂的周期性结构，其中包含刚性无机纳米结构框架以及各种金属和半导体相。这些材料的潜在应用将是尺寸选择性电化学传感器和光伏电池。教育计划将是为高年级本科生设计新的材料化学实验，开展跨部门活动，探索材料及其性能之间的联系，并向学生展示各种材料相关的方法和解决方案。具有受控结构、孔径的纳米团簇和功能将为催化、电化学传感器和电光器件中的高性能应用做好准备。该奖项的教学部分将为本科生和研究生提供材料化学不同方面的良好培训机会，包括合成、表征、结构-功能关系研究以及发光二极管等光学器件的制造。
