项目摘要

The Division of Chemistry supports Nicholas Strandwitz of the California Institute of Technology as an American Competitiveness in Chemistry Fellow. Dr. Strandwitz will work with Prof. Nate Lewis to investigate the use of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) to create inexpensive, stable photoanodes for water oxidation and solar fuels generation. The work will be carried out in collaboration with scientists at Argonne National Laboratory -- taking advantage of the state of the art deposition and microanalysis capabilities available there. For his plan for broadening participation, the PI will develop energy-themed curriculum hands-on teaching modules, in collaboration with 8th grade public school science teachers at John Marshall Fundamental School in Pasadena, CA. The teaching modules incorporate California State Standards for 8th graders, and will be designed to be easily integrated into the existing curricula. Research like that of Dr. Strandwitz is designed to enable next-generation energy technology to help wean the country of its dependence upon fossil fuels for energy. The efforts at broadening participation being pursued by Dr. Strandwitz are aimed at enabling young people from all backgrounds to be better prepared for further study in STEM fields, as well as developing in them an appreciation of the kinds of societal problems (e.g. energy sustainability) that science has the potential to solve.

化学系支持加利福尼亚理工学院的尼古拉斯·斯特兰德维茨（Nicholas Strandwitz）作为美国化学研究员的竞争力。 Strandwitz博士将与Nate Lewis教授合作，研究原子层沉积（ALD）的使用，以创建廉价，稳定的光抗水，用于水氧化和太阳能燃料的生成。这项工作将与Argonne National Laboratory的科学家合作进行 - 利用那里的最先进的沉积和微分析能力。为了扩大参与的计划，PI将与加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳的John Marshall基本学校的八年级公立学校科学教师合作开发以能源为主题的课程教学模块。教学模块纳入了加利福尼亚州的八年级学生的标准，并将设计为易于集成到现有课程中。像Strandwitz博士这样的研究旨在使下一代能源技术能够帮助该国依赖化石燃料的能源。斯特兰德威茨（Strandwitz）博士进行的扩大参与的努力旨在使来自各个背景的年轻人为在STEM领域的进一步学习做好准备，并在其中发展对科学有可能解决的社会问题（例如能源可持续性）的欣赏（例如能源可持续性）。
