  • 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...

  • Continuous flow synthesis of lead sulfide and copper indium diselenide nanocrystals

    Creator:
    Knapp, Michael W.
    Abstract:
    The use of size and shape tunable quantum confinement nanocrystals has many potential applications for use in semiconductors, optics and sensors. The synthesis of lead sulfide (PbS) and copper indium diselenide (CuInSe₂) nanoparticles are of particular interest for use in semiconductor, optoelectronics and bio-medical applications. The continuous synthesis of lead...

  • Solution-based Chalcogenide Thin Film Deposition

    Creator:
    Pan, Changqing
    Abstract:
    As a group of promising semiconductor materials, metal chalcogenides in thin film form have been widely used in electronics and optoelectronics applications, such as solar cell devices and photon sensors. Unfortunately, the film size and product throughput are limited by the current vacuum-based thin film deposition techniques. Solution-based thin film...

  • Carbon Nanodots as Biolabels for Fluorescence Immunoassays

    Creator:
    Wu, Yuanyuan
    Abstract:
    There has been a tremendous growth in interest in carbon nanodots (C-dots) in the past several years. As a nascent nanomaterial, C-dots have shown great promise in applications that benefit from their superior water dispersibility, low toxicity, non-blinking fluorescent output, chemical and biological compatibility, ease of functionalization and resistance to...

  • Preparation and Properties of Porous Carbon Materials

    Creator:
    Xing, Zhenyu
    Abstract:
    Porous carbon is indispensable in modern technology applications. It is used for energy storage, gas separation, water purification, catalyst support, and chromatography. The diversity of its applications stems from its unique properties, including high specific surface area, tunable pore volume, and chemical stability. Specifically, the large surface area provides high...

  • Establishing new markets for CLT - lessons learned

    Creator:
    Schwarzmann, Gabriel
    Abstract:
    CLT is becoming global. New countries and regions increasingly realize the potential of what can be done with CLT. As a result, new markets are forming and new companies are entering the industry. Every new region or country that opens its doors to CLT has its own challenges and opportunities....

  • Consider the community : developing predictive linkages between community structure and performance in microbial fuel cells

    Creator:
    Lesnik, Keaton Larson
    Abstract:
    The complex, dynamic nature of microbial communities in both natural and engineered environments complicates the work of scientists and engineers who wish to channel microbial interactions for societal good. The successful management of these communities towards engineering goals is dependent on developing predictive linkages between community structure and functional outputs....
