Investigation of Magnesium Dioxybenzenedicarboxylate (Mg-DOBDC) Thin-film Deposition onto Modified Glass Substrates

Creator:: Haning, Evan J.
Abstract:: Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline compounds formed from reacting a metal ion with an organic ligand. They represent a promising new avenue in materials science for gas separations and storage. Certain MOFs, in particular Mg-MOF-74, have shown a strong affinity for the capture of CO2. This project investigated a known...

Reactive Phase Change Materials for Enhanced Thermal Energy Storage

Creator:: Drake, Griffin S.
Abstract:: Effective storage and release of low-to-moderate temperature thermal energy (e.g. solar thermal or geothermal) could be transformational for applications such as space heating/cooling, domestic hot water, or off-grid cooking. Good candidates for thermal energy storage in this temperature range include latent heat storage (LHS) systems and thermochemical energy storage (TCES)...

Frequency-Dependent Rheological Characterization of Viscoelastic Materials Using Magnetic Nanoparticle Probes

Creator:: Myers, Renee C.
Abstract:: Extending rheological characterization methods to very small length scales is of interest. AC susceptometry using magnetic nanoparticle probes has been proposed for measurement of frequency-dependent rheological properties at the nanoscale. As this technique has been primarily used for ideally Newtonian fluids, this research aimed to extend this technique to viscoelastic...

The Effects of Temperature and Working Electrode Material on the Power Output of a Hydroxymethylfurfural Fuel Cell

Creator:: Breen, Joshua P.
Abstract:: The need for clean energy continues to rise as the earth’s non-renewable resources continue to be depleted to satisfy energy demands. One plausible renewable energy source exists in biomass-powered fuel cells.¹ While there are several ways to convert sugars to energy, one interesting approach is to convert the sugars to...

Photoluminescence Detection of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoulene (TNT) Binding on Single Cell Diatom Biosilica

Creator:: Harms, Nathan D.
Abstract:: T. pseudonana biosilica and live cells was explored as a biosensor for detection of the explosive compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in aqueous solution. The diatom frustule is an intricately nanostructured, highly porous biogenic silica material derived from the shells of microscopic algae called diatoms. This material emits strong visible blue photoluminescence...

Lanthanide Based Metal Organic Framework for the Conversion of CO₂ and Propylene Oxide to Propylene Carbonate

Creator:: Le, David H.
Abstract:: Lanthanide (Ln) based molecular complexes have shown great potential as Lewis acid catalysts for the activation of small molecules. Despite the wealth of structural versatility and high catalytic activity of these complexes, they often lack selectivity and recyclability. This hinders their potential for use in large-scale industrial applications where waste...
