Optofluidic Sensing from Inkjet-Printed Droplets on Diatom Biosilica

Creator:: Xi, Yuting
Abstract:: We explored an optofluidic sensing mechanism from inkjet-printed droplets on diatom biosilica using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Our study revealed a new biosensing strategy that combines the microscopic fluidic flow induced by the droplet evaporation and the photonic crystal effects of diatom frustules, which can provide an ultra-sensitive, cost-effective biosensing...

Microbial Electrolysis Cells for the Production of Hydrogen Gas : Evaluation of Internal Resistance and Design for Scale-Up

Creator:: Miller, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Modification of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) by altering the sizes of the anode and the cathode, or their interaction with the liquid stream affects the performance of the MEC, but it remains difficult to quantify how much each change will contribute to the overall performance. Through this study, a method...

Analyzing the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Surface Reactions using Density Functional Theory

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...

Synthesis of Mg-MOF-74 thin film on optical support and its potential application in gas sensing

Creator:: Sun, Hao
Abstract:: Mg-MOF-74 is one type of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that is widely known for its excellent CO2 uptake capacity. More intriguingly, it can be used to detect low levels of toxic gas such as CO2. Currently, most research into Mg-MOF-74 focuses on using the powder type as a CO2 absorbent because...

Sliding Mode Control of Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converters

Creator:: Brown, Danielle R.
Abstract:: This thesis concerns the development of a direct torque control strategy using a sliding mode control approach to optimize the power output of an oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter (WEC). The OWC WEC is a device that has a submerged vertical tail tube open at both ends, which...

Organic Crystalline Solids : Investigating their Capability, Storage Mechanism and Structural Evolution in Dual-Ion Batteries

Creator:: Rodríguez Pérez, Ismael A.
Abstract:: Widespread installation of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, has been delayed by the lack of suitable stationary energy storage solutions. Current large-scale technologies, such as pumped hydro and compressed air, are geographically restricted. This is where electrochemical energy storage - batteries or hybrid capacitors can play a...
