Theoretical Study of Solvent Effects in Heterogeneous Catalysis using Density Functional Theory

Creator:

Chukwu, Kingsley C.

Abstract:

Heterogeneous catalytic reactions in solvents are important for chemical processes like direct methanol fuels, biomass conversion to biofuels and electrochemical reduction of CO2 to fuels. Numerous experimental studies have shown that co-adsorbates and solvents affect the rate and selectivity of heterogeneous catalytic reaction, therefore fundamental understanding of how co-adsorbates and...

Predicting the Effect of Local Conditions on Metal-oxides: Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ Interface and Degradation of α-Cr₂O₃ Passive Film

Creator:

Oware Sarfo, Kofi

Abstract:

Metal-oxides are very important in industrial applications such as thermal barrier coatings, corrosion protection, and heterogeneous catalysis. The wide variety of applications for metal-oxides are derived from the array of properties of metal-oxides. It is, therefore, important to understand and predict the conditions of synthesis and operation to optimize the...

Optimizing Cancer Drug Treatment Models Using Process Dynamics

Creator:

Jones, Alexander R.

Abstract:

Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in the United States and the sixth leading cause of death worldwide. Due to cancer’s variability in type, location, growth rates, and patient physiology, treatment models are based off of previous experimental and clinical work. This variability, however, can lead to...
