Investigation of MoS2 with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Creator:

Dardzinski, Derek P.

Abstract:

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has potential applications as a low-cost catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Defects on MoS2, such as edge sites and sulfur vacancies, are known to be the major active sites for HER. Controlling the formation of these defects allows for the enhancement in reactivity of MoS2...

Oxidation of Amorphous Metal Alloy Surfaces Studied Using Ambient Pressure X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Creator:

Alzaga Elizondo, Pedro

Abstract:

Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of growing interest due to their unique mechanical properties and chemical stability. AMTFs have an advantage over polycrystalline metal films due to the lack of grain boundaries which gives AMTFs added durability and relatively smoother surfaces. For this reason, AMTFs have been investigated as...

Characterization of CoGe Thin Films and Powders

Creator:

Pfau, Andrew James

Abstract:

Cobalt germanides have been widely studied as semiconductor contact materials, but recent theoretical studies suggest that they may also be excellent catalysts for methane steam reforming with stabilities and activities comparable to noble metal catalysts. In order to study the catalytic activity of cobalt germanides, it is critical to first...

Controlling the Co-Precipitation of Colloidal PbSe Quantum Dots and Their Device Performance in a Diode Architecture

Creator:

McCrea, Tyler D.

Abstract:

In this work, colloidal PbSe quantum dots (QDs) are shown to be synthesized in a controlled manner by changing the growth time and reaction temperature in a microwave synthesis method. It is explained why quantum dots make such a unique material to create electronic devices and the specific benefits that...
