Deposition and characterization of Nanocoatings for improved catalytic properties of Solid Oxide Fuel cells

Functional materials in energy and electronic applications often require inorganic compounds to be fabricated as nanoscale coatings. Students will have the opportunity to develop nanoscale coatings using state of the art Pulsed Laser Deposition equipment, to characterize those coatings structurally using X-ray diffraction and Orientational Imaging Microscopy, as well as to investigate their properties using a variety of techniques.
