We at Cerion Technology, Inc. believe that a US transportation industry based upon diesel power, even more desirably, diesel-electric hybrid power, will substantially lessen our dependence upon foreign oil and significantly contribute to the reduction in the growth of greenhouse gases. The attractiveness of the diesel engine's many advantages over gasoline (spark ignition) engines (25% greater thermodynamic efficiency, 50% greater oil refinery yield of diesel relative to gasoline and 30% well-to-wheel efficiency of diesel electric hybrids, compared to 13% for hydrogen fuel cells) are somewhat diminished by the diesel engine's emissions of particulate matter (soot) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). CTI's diesel products, coupled with diesel oxidation catalytic converters mandated by the 2007 EPA emissions standards directly address and ameliorate these emissions issues.

Long description

A premium is placed on size, weight, and flexibility in power system design for most microsystems. Our focus is to develop the materials and devices that are compatible with these microsystem constraints by exploiting the potential opportunities afforded to us through nanostructured materials and nanotechnology.
Examples of technologies that we are targeting include carbon nanotubes for high-density storage in lithium ion batteries, semiconductor quantum dots for high-efficiency thin film solar cells, nanotube doped polymeric films for microelectronic PEM fuel cells and microactuators, nanoporous graphite for ultra or supercapacitors, and silicon carbide, gallium nitride and indium phosphide alpha and betavoltaic devices.

The work of the 3000 sq. ft. NanoPower Research labs are supported by the 15,000 sq. ft. cleanroom, new 14 M$ NYSTAR center in microsystems, and recent addition of a Ph.D. program in microsystems.

The NanoPower Research Labs has a vibrant on-going research collaboration with the Power and On-Board Propulsion Division at the NASA Glenn Research Center and the DOE supported National Renewable Energy Lab. This partnership is dedicated to developing nano-sat and next-generation space power systems. We are also currently supported through research programs with DOE, DARPA, and the NSF. The NanoPower Research Labs is also supporting the research needs of the private sector and currently has joint research programs with Kodak, Verimetra, Viatronix, and Phoenix Innovations, Inc.

Long description

nanoparticles.org was launched in 2000 as a site to advertise the international conference Particles 2001 held in Orlando, Florida, 24-27 February 2001, on particle synthesis, particle characterization, and particle-based advanced materials. It has transformed into a general information site attempting to cover all significant application areas of particle technology.

While nanoparticles.org remains a primary venue for advertising the Particles 2001, 2002, etc., conference series, it also provides announcements of upcoming conferences, symposia and meetings (open to the public) focusing on particle technology. It further offers opportunities for commercial interests to advertise their particle-related products and services such as particle characterization instrumentation, particle standards, specialized particles, etc. This site is also being developed to provide introductory and specialized information on particle technology in the Primers section, by publishing, on line, selected review articles by acknowledged experts.
nanoparticles.org is owned and maintained by Particles Conference, 265 Clover Street, Rochester, New York 14610-2246. Please direct any questions or suggestions to: webmaster@nanoparticles.org .
