Professor Francis P. Zamborini of the University of Louisville is supported by the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program in the Division of Chemistry to study the electrochemical reactivity and oxidation potential of silver and gold nanostructures as a function of size, shape, and surface chemistry. A second thrust of this supported research is to electrochemically synthesize Silver nanowires for sensing and molecular electronics applications. The proposed nanostructures will be characterized by spectroscopic, electrochemical and microscopic techniques. This research will lead to a better understanding of the effect of the size and shape of chemically and electrochemically synthesized nanostructures on the oxidation potential and the mechanisms of electron transfer at these nanoscale dimensions, which will push the field forward towards technological applications in miniaturized electronics, chemical sensing, and catalysis. Graduate and undergraduate students will participate in all aspects of the proposed research, and high school students will participate through outreach activities.

路易斯维尔大学的弗朗西斯·Zamborini教授得到了化学分析和表面化学计划的支持，以研究银和金纳米结构的电化学反应性和氧化潜力，这是大小，形状和表面化学的函数。这项支持的研究的第二个动力是电化学合成用于传感和分子电子应用的银纳米线。所提出的纳米结构将以光谱，电化学和微观技术为特征。这项研究将更好地理解化学和电化学合成的纳米结构对这些纳米级尺寸上氧化潜力和电子传递机制的影响，这将使该领域在微型电子，化学传感和催化性中的技术应用。研究生和本科生将参加拟议研究的各个方面，高中生将通过外展活动参加。
