The current advancement of technology very much depends upon the discovery of new materials. It has been known for some time that combinations of elements not involving carbon (called inorganic materials) can have important uses in areas from electronics, computing and UV protection in products, to harnessing energy from the sun. In particular, when inorganic particles are very small, typically made up of a few hundred atoms (called nanomaterials), they can have unusual and exciting properties. The discovery of such nanomaterials is very much hampered by our inability to make these materials fast enough and then to be able to test them adequately for their properties.The proposed research seeks to develop a new, faster way of making and discovering inorganic nanomaterials that can absorb sunlight (as an free energy source), and use this energy to split water into its constituents, hydrogen and oxygen (in a process known as photocatalysis). The hydrogen can then be used for powering cars or devices of the future. Such a process is important to sustain the energy requirements of mankind on this earth when our fossil fuels (e.g. oil) are exhausted.

当前技术的进步在很大程度上取决于发现新材料。众所周知，不涉及碳（称为无机材料）的元素组合可以在产品，计算和紫外线保护到利用太阳能量的区域中具有重要用途。特别是，当无机颗粒很小时，通常由数百个原子（称为纳米材料）组成时，它们可能具有异常和令人兴奋的特性。我们无法使这些材料足够快，然后能够充分测试它们的特性，从而极大地阻碍了这些纳米材料的发现。拟议的研究试图开发一种更快，更快的方法来制造和发现无机纳米材料，从而可以吸收这种能量（作为自由的能量来源），并以水分为基础，并以水分为基础，并以水分为基础，并以水分为基础，并在水中造成水分，并在水中造成了水分，并在水中造成了一种和阳光的进程。光催化）。然后，氢可以用于为未来的汽车或设备供电。当我们的化石燃料（例如石油）用尽时，这种过程对于维持人类在地球上的能源需求很重要。
