What is <\/b>the NSF-PREM<\/b>-CiE<\/b>2<\/b>M<\/b>?<\/b><\/p><\/h1><\/span>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The NSF-PREM CIE2M rests on the partnership of five institutions to complete the PREM pathway, Universidad Ana G. M\u00e9ndez Cupey Campus and Gurabo Campus, the University of Puerto Rico, Humacao, Mayaguez, and R\u00edo Piedras Campus, with the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) at Cornell University, a Division of Materials Research funded center.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>

The Center brings together a diverse and talented scientific community with experience and expertise in electrochemistry, solid-state chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and synchrotron-based techniques for characterization of energy materials\u00a0in operando<\/i> conditions at CHESS. The partnership will help develop a fundamental understanding of charge transfer mechanisms and electrochemical processes across surfaces, sub-surfaces, and interfaces in nanostructured materials. And will motivate and prepare undergraduate and graduate students to pursue interdisciplinary careers using synchrotron-based techniques.<\/p>\n<\/div>
