The Use of Various Morphologies of Nanocellulose as Life Long Anodes of Sodium Ion Batteries

Creator:: Schardt, Jenna
Abstract:: Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) require the use of a highly reversible anode. To form this anode carbon nanofibers and nanocrystals are derived from cellulose nanofibers, cellulose nanocrystals, and bacterial nanocellulose. The primary structure of the cellulose nanofibers is maintained when carbonized allowing for high surface area in the structure. The carbon...

Novel Charge Carriers for Aqueous Electrochemical Energy Storage

Creator:: Sandstrom, Sean K.
Abstract:: The continued long-term use of fossil fuels as a primary energy source has resulted in dramatic increases in greenhouse gas emissions and the associated concerns of climate change and environmental pollution. A key strategy to circumvent these issues is a global shift away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy sources....

New Graphite Intercalation Chemistry with Ethers and Amines

Creator:: Zhang, Hanyang
Abstract:: Novel donor-typed ternary graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) are synthesized and characterized containing (1) pyrrolidinium cations with DMSO co-intercalates; (2) alkali metal cations with crown ether co-intercalates; and (3) alkali metal cations with polyethylene glycol co-intercalates. Structural and compositional data are obtained for the stable products. A new ether-amine co-intercalate exchange...

Substitutional Effects on the Electromechanical Properties of Lead-free, Piezoelectric (Na₀.₅Bi₀.₅)TiO₃-BaTiO₃ (NBT-BT)

Creator:: McQuade, Ryan R.
Abstract:: This work investigates the effect of cation substitution on the properties of the lead-free, solid solution (Na₀.₅Bi₀.₅)TiO₃-BaTiO₃ (NBT-BT). Substitution into NBT-BT increases disorder and increases the relaxor ferroelectric properties. These relaxor ferroelectric materials show large piezoelectric strains that can be utilized in actuator applications. Ceramic samples were prepared using standard...

Optimizing Production of Xylindein by Chlorociboria sp. and its Potential for Use with Nanocellulose

Creator:: Van Court, R. C.
Abstract:: Fungi from the genus Chlorociboria are known for their production of the blue-green quinonic pigment xylindein. Extracted xylindein has been the subject of investigations ranging from fabric dying to use a coloring agent in paint, and shows potential as an organic semiconductor in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and other technologies. However,...

Potential Additive-Manufacturing of Ablative Thermal Protection Systems

Creator:: Hazell, Kenya K.
Abstract:: Electrodeposition is a versatile polymer deposition technique to create nano-microscale materials using an electrical field generated from a charged droplet of solution and a grounded collector. Electrospinning or electrospraying can occur during electrodeposition, leading to the creation of nanofibers or bead-like materials depending on the process parameters. Photopolymerization of the...

Chemical Solution Deposition and in-situ Structural Characterization of Pb-free, Bi-based, Piezoelectric Thin Films

Creator:: Fox, Austin J.
Abstract:: This work explores the electric field induced strain mechanisms in environmentally benign Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) based piezoelectric thin films. Although BNT-based materials show promise as replacements for toxic Pb-based piezoelectrics, the displacement mechanisms are not consistent between thin films and bulk materials, and the differences have yet to be well understood....

Tuning Functional Properties of Pyrochlore and Related Oxides via Cation and Anion Substitutions

Creator:: Giampaoli, Gabriella C. S.
Abstract:: Inorganic structures play an important role in materials due to their versatility and diversity. A complete understanding of the structure of a material is vital to enhance the creation of new materials that fill voids in research. The rational design of these compounds is driven by the exploitation of structure-property...

Thin Films via Chemical Solution Deposition Synthesis from the (Bi₀.₅Na₀.₅)TiO₃-(Bi₀.₅K₀.₅)TiO₃-Bi(Mg₀.₅Ti₀.₅)O₃ Ternary System

Creator:: Mendez, Jose Eduardo
Abstract:: The ternary system (Bi₀.₅Na₀.₅)TiO₃-(Bi₀.₅K₀.₅)TiO₃-Bi(Mg₀.₅Ti₀.₅)O₃ (BNT-BKT-BMgT) was explored along the [75-(x 2) ]Bi₀.₅Na₀.₅TiO₃ - [25-(x 2)]Bi₀.₅K₀.₅TiO₃ - [x]Bi(Mg₀.₅Ti₀.₅)O₃ composition line. Thin films were fabricated using chelated mixing route solutions spin cast onto platinized silicon substrates. Processing parameters such as: excess cation molar%, solution molality, and crystallization temperatures, for composition where x=0,...

The Effect of Surface Finish on Ball Grid Array Lead Free Solder Joints

Creator:: Casali, Dick R.
Abstract:: As microelectronic parts trend smaller so do their solder joints. The surface finish on a copper pad is expected to become a significant part of the total solder joint volume and therefore affect mechanical properties of the smaller solder joints. Two sample geometries and four different surface finishes for tin-silver-copper...
