Hydrogen Interaction with Platinum and Palladium Surfaces

Creator:: Boechler, Amanda N.
Abstract:: Platinum and palladium surfaces are utilized as catalytic surfaces in the chemical industry. Understanding how hydrogen atoms interact with the metal surfaces will allow for further advancement in this area. Specifically, the interaction of hydrogen on the surface and subsurface of these metals was investigated using density functional theory calculations...

Solvation Effects of Water on Dimethyl Ether Interactions with a Platinum Catalyst

Creator:: Chang, Alvin
Abstract:: Our society today is heavily dependent on fossil fuels such as coal and oil. However, growing environmental concerns and future fossil fuel supplies have led to interests in alternative fuels. Dimethyl Ether (DME) is an inexpensive, clean-burning, non-toxic, and potentially renewable fuel, making it a suitable choice as an alternative...

Oxidation Energies of Chromium and Tungsten Substituted Ni (111) Surfaces

Creator:: Roth, Anika
Abstract:: The corrosion and heat resistance properties of nickel alloys are hallmarks of their importance in infrastructure and industrial catalysis processes, but these properties are highly dependent on the chemical composition of the alloy surface. Density functional theory was used for analysis of surface oxidation of four combinations of chromium and...

Optimizing Cancer Drug Treatment Models Using Process Dynamics

Creator:: Jones, Alexander R.
Abstract:: Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in the United States and the sixth leading cause of death worldwide. Due to cancer’s variability in type, location, growth rates, and patient physiology, treatment models are based off of previous experimental and clinical work. This variability, however, can lead to...

Solvent and Dispersion Effects on the Hydrodeoxygenation of Acetic Acid on a Pd(111) Model Surface

Creator:: Rebarchik, Michael A.
Abstract:: Increased dependence on fossil fuels and concerns of anthropogenic climate change have led to increased interest in alternative energy sources. Liquid fuels derived from renewable raw materials have gained attention in recent years due to their similarity to petroleum-based fuels. Biofuels derived through hydrodeoxygenation have been found to be one...

Surface composition age analysis of photo-oxidized polystyrene thin films by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Creator:: Silva, Nicholas A.
Abstract:: Polystyrene thin film surfaces are commonly used to study the interactions of macromolecules, such as proteins, with surfaces. Polystyrene films oxidized in UV light become more hydrophilic, however these surfaces have a limited shelf life because they are reduced over time. Experiments were performed to determine the effect of radiation...

Surface Structure Sensitivity to Fuel Adsorption on Pt(111) and Pt(100) and Carbon-Oxygen Bond Breakage at the Anode of a Direct Dimethyl Ether Fuel Cell

Creator:: Schneider-Coppolino, Merissa
Abstract:: As conventional energy sources begin to deplete, the need for alternative, renewable energy becomes more necessary. Dimethyl ether (DME) fuel cells are a promising energy source that could fulfill these demands. Compared to well-known fuel cell fuels, such as methanol, DME has a low toxicity and high energy density. Experimental...

Thermodynamic analysis of a magnesium carbonate thermochemistry and compressed air energy storage system

Creator:: Rebarchik, Eric R.
Abstract:: In this work, a hybrid thermochemistry compressed air energy storage (CAES) system is investigated. Following a review on chemical reactions investigated for use in thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems, from these chemistries, the conversion of magnesium carbonate, MgCO3, to magnesium oxide, MgO, and carbon dioxide, CO2, was further analyzed for...

Computing Wavefunctions of Silicon Donor Qubits with Density Functional Theory

Creator:: Almulla, Yousif Waleed
Abstract:: Silicon based quantum computing is an attractive approach to large-scale quantum computation due to the significant success of the modern semiconductor fabrication industry. Despite many advances in silicon quantum computing since its inception in 1998, there remains no software for efficiently designing candidate silicon quantum computing devices. Such a development...
