This proposal was submitted for an EAGER grant; it seeks funding for a US-Turkey Collaborative research initiative. The application entitled, "Advanced Energy-Efficient Smart Buildings: Solar Energy Conversion by Next-Generation Construction NanoMaterials," was submitted by Touradj Solouki from Baylor University. This EAGER request will support a collaborative approach to enable NOx abatement using hybrid, nanomaterial-based photocatalysts, optimized for ambient conditions, without the incorporation of expensive platinum group metals. It is anticipated these new photocatalysts could be mixed with conventional construction materials to improve air quality in and around buildings. The work leverages the complementary skills and high resolution spectroscopic/spectrometric capabilities of the US and Turkish investigators and their individual facilities.The research is expected to produce cost-effective smart building materials that will use solar energy to clean the air and help to minimize air pollution. Moreover, research in this area will offer interdisciplinary training opportunities for students and scholars that will be involved in high-quality and meaningful research experiences, develop their expertise, and broaden their knowledge through shared and open-access facilities. Successful implementation of the research design will foster innovative research and serve as a model for future international collaborations.

该提案已提交了渴望的赠款；它寻求为美国 - 土耳其合作研究计划的资金。贝勒大学的Touradj Solouki提交了题为“先进的节能智能建筑：下一代建筑纳米材料的太阳能转换”的应用程序。该急切的请求将支持一种协作方法，以使用混合，基于纳米材料的光催化剂来减少NOX，并针对环境条件进行了优化，而无需掺入昂贵的铂金集团金属。预计这些新的光催化剂可能与常规建筑材料混合在一起，以改善建筑物内和周围的空气质量。这项工作利用了美国和土耳其研究人员及其各个设施的互补技能和高分辨率光谱/光谱能力。该研究有望生产具有成本效益的智能建筑材料，这些材料将使用太阳能清洁空气并帮助最大程度地减少空气污染。此外，该领域的研究将为学生和学者提供跨学科的培训机会，这些培训机会将参与高质量和有意义的研究经验，发展其专业知识，并通过共享和开放的访问设施扩大知识。研究设计的成功实施将促进创新研究，并成为未来国际合作的模型。
