Hydrophobicity, Anion Exchange, and Phytoaccumulation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): Retention and Remediation

Creator:: Parker, Bethany A.
Abstract:: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of contaminants of great concern due to their toxicity and ubiquity in the environment. Remediation efforts historically have focused on granular activated carbon (GAC) because of its low maintenance and relatively low cost. However, GAC is not PFAS selective and is especially...

Synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide based materials - from molecule to device

Creator:: Wang, Wei
Abstract:: A scalable synthesis of the "flat" tridecameric inorganic cluster [Al₁₃(μ₃-OH)₆(μ-OH)₁₈(H₂O)₂₄]¹⁵⁺ has been realized by treating an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution with zinc-metal powder at room temperature. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples are readily obtained in yields exceeding 55% relative to the starting reagent Al(NO₃)₃. Products have been characterized by X-ray...
