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...

Platinum Nanoparticles in Transition Alumina: An Atomic Resolution Study of Interfaces

Creator:

Clauser, Arielle L.

Abstract:

The phases of transition alumina are scientifically interesting due to their high specific surface area, favorable acid/ base characteristics, and chemical and hydrothermal stability which make this metallic oxide a prime candidate for use as a support for metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in heterocatalysis. Interactions at alumina/Pt interfaces are important for...

Synthesis and investigation of layered oxides with honeycomb ordering

Creator:

Schmidt, Whitney L.

Abstract:

Synthesis and discovery lies at the core of every field in chemistry. The investigation of the structure-property relationships in compounds known or new is the fundamental purpose of solid state chemistry. Mixing related solid state compounds to form solid solutions can lead to exciting new and/or unexpected properties. Layered compounds...
