UND, NDSU projects earn seed grants
Abstract:
The Sustainable Energy Research Initiative (SUNRISE) recently awarded six seed grants to faculty members at UND and North Dakota State University. The seed grants are funded through the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research infrastructure improvement program.
At NDSU:
- Muhammet Kose, chemistry and molecular biology, "Controlling nanoscale morphology of OPV (organic photovoltaic) devices for higher efficiencies," $31,000.
- Val Marinov, industrial and manufacturing engineering, "Hot carrier transparent solar cells on aerogel," $31,000.
- Xiangfa Wu, mechanical engineering, "Hybrid CNT- (carbon nanotube-) grafted carbon nanofibers for porous electrodes of supercapacitors."$38,000.
