The University of Puerto Rico, R\u00edo Piedras Campus (UPRRP), Universidad Ana G. M\u00e9ndez Cupey\u00a0Campus and Gurabo Campus, all located in Puerto Rico and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), and the <\/span>Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS)<\/span> have teamed up in this educational and innovative collaborative materials research effort. \u00a0The purpose of this collaborative team is to <\/span>bring together and develop a diverse and talented scientific interdisciplinary community with expertise in <\/span>operando<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 synchrotron X-ray techniques to enhance energy storage and conversion devices.<\/span> For this reason, three interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs) have been designed to address the use of unique, yet complementary, strategies related to energy conversion and storage and synchrotron based techniques:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
