Proposal Title: Beyond the 2010 Initiative: Partnerships for CompetitivenessInstitution: South Dakota State University Energy generation and conversion are critical issues at the core of this major project involving nine institutions in South Dakota: South Dakota State (lead), Augustana, Black Hills, Dakota State, Oglala Lakota, Sinte Gleska, Sisseton Wahpeton, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, and the University of South Dakota (USD) Main Campus. The researchers will create new devices called Photo-Active Nanoscale Systems (PANS). PANS research focuses on photovoltaic and solar energy, directwrite electronics, and the use of nanostructured materials for converting solar energy into chemical fuels. The project involves a series of Grand Opportunities, each addressing research questions through a multidisciplinary approach. These include: Cost Effective Solar Cells; New Generation Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSC) based on Metal-Surface Enhancement; Reconfigurable Antennas on Flexible Substrates-Broadband Multilayer Filters; Upconverter Based Cost-effective High Efficiency Solar Cells; Novel Tandem Polymer Photovoltaics using Printing or Roll-to-Roll Processing; Fabrications of Electrodes for Next Generation Solar Cells; and Conversion of Solar Energy into Chemical Fuels using Nanostructured MaterialsIntellectual MeritThe project addresses the development of novel photoactive materials, including investigations at the atomic level as well as applications of these materials. Modeling, synthesis and fabrication of novel composites will result in solar cell materials designed for performance, with a view to economics as well. Shape and size of the composites will be optimized along with tailored chemical composition by working at the nanoscale. Biomedical applications such as photoactive therapies will be addressed as well. Broader ImpactsWorkforce development is a primary objective of South Dakota and this project. An innovative partnership will facilitate the faculty at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in pursuing terminal degrees. The RII project will support the planning for a state-wide initiative for middle school, Science in the Middle. This initiative will provide teacher professional development to establish a cohort of qualified master science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers. Connections will be established with the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL), including a virtual DUSEL (vDUSEL), which will provide outreach and education accessible to K-12 students and the community.

提案标题：超越2010年的倡议：竞争性伙伴关系：南达科他州立大学的能源发电和转换是这个主要项目的关键问题，涉及南达科他州的九个机构：南达科他州：南达科他州（Lead），奥古斯塔纳，奥古斯塔纳，黑山，达科他州，达科他州，达科他州，达科塔州，奥格拉拉·莱克斯·萨尔斯·斯科特·斯科特·斯托克，矿山和技术，以及南达科他大学（USD）主校园。 研究人员将创建称为光活动纳米级系统（PANS）的新设备。 PANS研究的重点是光伏和太阳能，DirectWrite电子产品，以及使用纳米结构材料将太阳能转换为化学燃料的材料。该项目涉及一系列宏伟的机会，每个机会通过多学科方法来解决研究问题。 其中包括：具有成本效益的太阳能电池；基于金属表面增强的新一代发光太阳浓缩器（LSC）；在柔性基材上可重新配置的天线宽带多层过滤器；基于UpConverter的成本效益高效率太阳能电池；新颖的串联聚合物光伏使用印刷或滚动处理；下一代太阳能电池的电极制造；并使用纳米结构材料智能材料将太阳能转化为化学燃料，该项目涉及新型光活性材料的开发，包括在原子水平上进行的研究以及这些材料的应用。 新型复合材料的建模，合成和制造将导致设计用于性能的太阳能电池材料，并观察到经济学。 复合材料的形状和大小将通过在纳米级工作来优化，并通过量身定制的化学组成。 还将解决生物医学应用，例如光活性疗法。 更广泛的影响力工程发展是南达科他州和该项目的主要目标。 创新的合作伙伴关系将促进部落大学（TCU）的教职员工攻读码头学位。 RII项目将支持针对中间科学的全州中学计划的计划。该倡议将为教师专业发展提供一系列合格的大师级科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师的群体。将与深层科学和工程实验室（Dusel）建立联系，包括虚拟的Dusel（Vdusel），该实验室将为K-12学生和社区提供外展和教育。
