Formation of hybrid supramolecular assemblies using biological molecules and transition metals

Creator:: Smith, Rachelle M. S.
Abstract:: Naturally occurring assemblies, such as DNA and proteins, utilize intermolecular forces (i.e H-bonding and van der Waals) to assemble. Utilizing these electrostatic interactions has only just started in the past five decades to be a tool used in synthetic chemistry in what is known as supramolecular chemistry. Supramolecular chemistry has...

Transition Metal Oxides for Aqueous Electrochemical Energy Storage

Creator:: Jiang, Heng
Abstract:: In the 21st century, environmental deterioration is now an indisputable fact. Reliable and economically viable electricity systems based on renewable sources are urgently needed to replace the environmentally detrimental fossil fuels. The feasibility of incorporating renewable-but-intermittent solar and wind energy heavily depends on the development of cost-effective and safe technologies,...

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...

Electrical Conductivity in Mixed-Species Biofilms for Enhancing Energy Generation in Anaerobic Microbial Systems

Creator:: Li, Cheng
Abstract:: Further enhancement of energy generation is desired for practical application of anaerobic microbial systems such as microbial fuel cells (MFC) and anaerobic digesters (AD). A possible approach is to enhance the ability of microbial communities to transfer electron extracellularly in the form of electrical current. Critical to perform direct extracellular...

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...

Nonthermal Plasma Microreaction Engineering for Gas and Liquid Processing

Creator:: Pommerenck, Justin
Abstract:: Atmospheric pressure plasma is non-thermal at millimeter to micrometer separations. It represents an alternative low exergy initiator of many chemical reactions. In many instances heat, light or sound are not efficient providers of the necessary energy to overcome chemical activation barriers. The focus of this research is applying dc nonthermal...

Functional materials for advanced energy and electronic devices

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...
