Janet E Macdonald from Vanderbilt University is supported by the Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program in the Division of Chemistry and the Sustainable Chemistry, Engineering and Materials (SusChEM) initiative to pursue research into the preparation of new photocatalysts based on nanoparticles of the family of copper sulfides. The research aims to develop shape and size controlled syntheses to new and underexplored phases of the copper sulfides, and to gain a fundamental understanding of their crystallographic structures and photoluminescence phenomena. Syntheses of hybrid metal-semiconductor nanoparticles of the copper sulfides will also be developed and studied for their photoinduced charge separation and application towards photocatalytic water splitting to give H2 gas.These syntheses and new nanoparticles will facilitate the study of advanced photocatalyst design, and the building of stable, active, non-toxic, viable photocatalysts for green fuel generation from solar energy. The educational goals of this CAREER award is in part to integrate the research into outreach programs to Tennessee middle and high school students through the Vanderbilt Summer Academy and the Vanderbilt Students Volunteer for Science, thereby encouraging economically disadvantaged and underrepresented groups into careers in the physical and material sciences.

来自范德比尔特大学的Janet E MacDonald得到了化学和可持续化学，工程和材料（SUSCHEM）倡议的大分子，超分子和纳米化学计划的支持，以研究基于铜硫化物的纳米家族的新光催化剂的准备。该研究旨在将形状和大小受控的合成发展为铜硫化物的新阶段和未充满异常的阶段，并对它们的晶体学结构和光致发光现象有基本的了解。 还将开发和研究铜硫化物的杂化金属 - 含量纳米颗粒的合成，以进行光诱导的电荷分离，并应用于光催化水分裂以获得H2气体。这些合成和新的纳米颗粒将促进这些稳定的稳定的稳定的燃料，可构建稳定的稳定，可构建无效的稳定，可构建无效的稳定性，可促进稳定，可促进稳定，可促进稳定，可促进稳定，可促进良好的稳定性。该职业生涯奖的教育目标部分是为了通过范德比尔特夏季学院和范德比尔特的科学志愿者授予田纳西州中学和高中生的外展计划的研究，从而鼓励经济上弱势群体的群体和不足的团体成为物理和物质科学领域的职业。
