Abstract

This activity plan for the trainee grant is aimed to support a student in energy storage and supply research. This technology, considered strategic due to the advantages of its use in many modern equipment, will be innovative due to special assembly of graphene, carbon nanotubes and porous diamonds. However, to obtain these carbon based materials with superlative qualities, they are prepared by a chemical vapor deposition reactor from the vapor phase to be built in the first step of this research. Considering the crucial importance of this device and materials developed for the success of the project, the participation of an undergraduate student is requested.
