Surface Structure Sensitivity to Fuel Adsorption on Pt(111) and Pt(100) and Carbon-Oxygen Bond Breakage at the Anode of a Direct Dimethyl Ether Fuel Cell

Creator:

Schneider-Coppolino, Merissa

Abstract:

As conventional energy sources begin to deplete, the need for alternative, renewable energy becomes more necessary. Dimethyl ether (DME) fuel cells are a promising energy source that could fulfill these demands. Compared to well-known fuel cell fuels, such as methanol, DME has a low toxicity and high energy density. Experimental...

Analyzing the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Surface Reactions using Density Functional Theory

Creator:

Sprowl, Lynza H.

Abstract:

The interactions of chemical species with a solid surface play a role in many everyday applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, and degradation reactions. Understanding the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics via rate constants and equilibrium constants, which require knowledge of the adsorbed species’ entropy, is essential for tuning these surface...
