  • Rational Fuel Design for Low Temperature Internal Combustion Engines

    Creator:
    Daly, Shane R.
    Abstract:
    This work introduces a new methodology to design transportation fuels offering improved efficiency and reduced emissions, aimed to complement both traditional and emerging engine technologies. Many of these emerging technologies are centered around exploiting low temperature combustion (LTC) strategies that offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions. However, a standardized fuel...

  • Three Sites are Better than One : Exploring Multivalency in LC8 Binding Partners

    Creator:
    Clark, Sarah A.
    Abstract:
    Hub proteins bind a large number of partners to facilitate structural changes and downstream protein interactions. LC8, a highly conserved protein homodimer, is a unique hub that regulates the activity of proteins in a wide range of cellular processes by binding to intrinsically disordered regions. With many of these systems,...

  • 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...

  • New chemistry for electrochemical energy storage applications

    Creator:
    Wang, Xingfeng
    Abstract:
    Electrochemical capacitors and batteries are two major electrochemical energy storage technologies, which have been investigated extensively to meet the rapidly-growing demand for higher energy, higher power, lower cost and enhanced safety in the past few decades. With the charge storage mechanism of electrostatic charge adsorption desorption via electrical double layers,...
