Creation of Titanium-Based Nanofoams in Reduced Gravity for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Production
Project Description
The objective of this research includes creating and examining titanium oxide (first two campaigns) and titanium (third campaign) freeze-cast materials (which are not nanoporous, but rather exhibit directionally aligned macropores) in the microgravity environment provided by parabolic flight. Work continued under T0149.
