Novel nanocomposite synthesis for high-performance thermoelectrics

Creator:: Eilertsen, James S.
Abstract:: Thermoelectric materials are playing a larger role in the global effort to develop diverse, efficient, and sustainable energy technologies: primarily through power-generating thermoelectric modules. The principal components of thermoelectric modules are solid-state thermoelectric materials – typically heavily doped semiconductors – that convert heat directly into electricity. However, this conversion efficiency...

Fracture toughness of void-site-filled skutterudites

Creator:: Eilertsen, James S.
Abstract:: Thermoelectric materials are playing an increasingly significant role in the global effort to develop sustainable energy technologies. Consequently, the demand for materials with greater thermoelectric efficiency has stimulated the development of state-of-the-art interstitially doped skutterudite-based materials. However, since intermetallics are often embrittled by interstitial substitution, optimal skutterudite-based device design, manufacture,...

Fracture Toughness of Co4Sb12 and In0.1Co4Sb12 Thermoelectric Skutterudites Evaluated by Three Methods

Creator:: Eilertsen, James, Subramanian, M. A., and Kruzic, J. J.
Abstract:: Interstitially filled skutterudites are a promising class of state-of-the-art thermoelectric materials. Although thermoelectrics are exposed to significant thermal stresses, little information is known about the fracture toughness of interstitially doped skutterudites. This work explores the fracture toughness of undoped Co₄Sb₁₂ and indium doped In₀.₁Co₄Sb₁₂ skutterudites using three methods: 1) Vickers...

Development of predictive mapping techniques for soil survey and salinity mapping

Creator:: Elnaggar, Abdelhamid A.
Abstract:: Conventional soil maps represent a valuable source of information about soil characteristics, however they are subjective, very expensive, and time-consuming to prepare. Also, they do not include explicit information about the conceptual mental model used in developing them nor information about their accuracy, in addition to the error associated with...

Rapid Microwave Synthesis of Indium Filled Skutterudites: An energy efficient route to high performance thermoelectric materials

Creator:: Biswas, Krishnendu, Muir, Sean, and Subramanian, Mas A.
Abstract:: Filled skutterudites are promising thermoelectric materials due to reduced thermal conductivity upon inserting a guest atom or 'rattler' into the CoSb₃ structure. By using an indium rattler dimensionless Figure of Merit (ZT) values > 1 at 650 K have been reported. The conventional synthesis of these compounds typically takes several...

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...

Structure-property relationships in oxides containing select platinum group metals

Creator:: Gatimu, Alvin J.
Abstract:: Oxide materials exhibit a wide variety of structures and properties. In particular, transition metal oxides tend to be highly stable while exhibiting a wide range of properties that can be used for numerous applications. This work focuses on investigating how the structures’ of 4d and 5d transition metal oxides influences...

Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) Foraging Ecology During Marine Heatwave Conditions

Creator:: Kennerley, William L.
Abstract:: Marine heatwaves (“MHWs”) are discrete periods of anomalously warm ocean conditions that can lead to shifts in the distribution and abundance of marine organisms. Low-trophic level, pelagic forage species are frequently among those affected by MHWs, often resulting in considerable impacts upon their predators. In the North Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic...

Anti-obesity and Metabolic Health Impact of Pacific Dulse (Devaleraea mollis) and Nori (Pyropia spp.) Seaweeds in Western Diet-Induced Obese C57BL/6J Mice

Creator:: Zhou, Leyi
Abstract:: Seaweeds have gained tremendous recognition as a highly nutritious and sustainable crop. The diverse components of seaweeds are known to exhibit a wide range of bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and cardiovascular health benefits. One such promising seaweed is Pacific dulse (Devaleraea mollis). While it holds great cultivating potential on the...
