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...

Creator:: Pang, Qin
Abstract:: Carbon steel, which contains mostly iron, has been widely used as reinforcement in reinforced concrete. In the alkaline environment in reinforced concrete, a thin iron oxide film, called the passive film, forms on the surface of the steel, which protects the surface from active corrosion. The exact atomic structure of...

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...

Creator:: Wang, Maoyu
Abstract:: Hydrogen is the green fuel that can be produced from water through electrolysis and used via hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity with zero carbon dioxide emission. The commercialization of electrolyzers and fuel cells is the critical step to achieving global carbon neutrality. However, it is severely hampered by the...

Creator:: Flynn, Brendan T.
Abstract:: Advances in energy technologies and electronics have typically occurred through either heightened performance or cost reduction. This dissertation explores both routes through a series of fundamental material studies that may contribute to the enabling of next generation devices. Solution based syntheses and deposition of chemical products offer a low cost...

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...
