Abstract Proposal: OISE-1135734 PI/Institution: Camata, Renato., University of Alabama at BirminghamDr. Renato Camata from the University of Alabama Birmingham and Dr. Daniel de Florio from the Universidade Federal do ABC in São Paulo, Brazil plan to study oxide film materials with high ionic conductivity for applications in fuel cells. The proposed work will create novel thin film electrolyte materials with high ionic conductivity in the intermediate temperature range of 500 to 750˚C. These new electrolyte materials have the potential to create solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that surmount the reliability and cost impediments in current SOFC systems. Materials will be fabricated as thin films at the University of Alabama and characterized at the Universidade Federal do ABC; making the experimental facilities at both universities highly complementary and ideally suited for the success of this project. Furthermore, the US PI is a known expert in the field of oxide deposition via pulsed laser which is the preferred method for this collaboration while the Brazilian PI is a well-published researcher and leader in SOFC materials. This visit will also make it possible for a US PhD dissertation student, to gain an invaluable international research experience as he works on the characterization of the thin films materials under the mentorship of both US and Brazilian experts.

摘要建议：OISE-1135734 PI/Institution：Camata，Renato。，阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学。阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学的雷纳托·卡米塔（Renato Camata）和巴西圣保罗大学联邦ABC的丹尼尔·德·弗洛里奥（Daniel de Florio）博士计划在燃料电池中研究具有高离子电导率的氧化物膜材料。拟议的工作将创建具有高离子电导率的新型薄膜电解质材料，在500至750＆c的中等温度范围内。这些新的电解质材料有可能创建固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC），以揭示当前SOFC系统中的可靠性和成本障碍。材料将在阿拉巴马大学制造为薄膜，并在联邦Do ABC大学中进行特征。在这两种大学中，使这两个大学的实验设施非常完整，非常适合该项目的成功。此外，美国PI是通过脉冲激光在氧化物沉积领域的著名专家，这是这种合作的首选方法，而巴西PI是SOFC材料的精彩研究员和领导者。这次访问还将使美国博士学位论文专业的学生有可能获得一项宝贵的国际研究经验，因为他在美国和巴西专家的心态下致力于表征薄膜材料的特征。
