The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of South Carolina contains a vibrant and diverse group of researchers devoted to developing materials for energy applications. Led by two SmartState Centers for Economic Excellence (SAGE and CReF) research spans the gamut from the design of multifunctional catalysts to combinatorial searches for high temperature oxidation and corrosion resistant coatings. The over-arching emphasis is on utilizing information obtained at the interface of rapid experimental materials design/characterization and atomic scale imaging to understand and control the synthesis of nano-materials.
