A Molecular Resolution Investigation of Electron Transfer at Electrochemical Interfaces

Temple University, Philadelphia PA

Investigators

Abstract

The Analytical and Surface Chemistry (ASC) program of the Division of Chemistry will support the research program of Prof. Eric Borguet of Temple University. Prof. Borguet and his students will investigate the chemical reactivity of molecules at solid-liquid interfaces in order to gain molecular level understanding of the rules that govern charge transfer and transport at charged interfaces. This will enable transformative advances in electrochemical and nanoscale science that will be important in a variety of areas including molecular electronics, electrochemistry, catalysis, information storage, solar energy conversion and sensors. The study will provide excellent educational training opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees in a highly multidisciplinary research area involving the development and application of state of the art electrochemical imaging methods to analyze complex interfaces of increasing technological importance.
