High Pressure Studies Of Nanostructured Tio2 And Li4ti5o12 Using Raman Spectroscopy And Synchrotron X-Ray Radiation, Fengping Xiao
High Pressure Studies Of Nanostructured Tio2 And Li4ti5o12 Using Raman Spectroscopy And Synchrotron X-Ray Radiation, Fengping Xiao
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Nanomaterials have been extensively studied due to their distinctive properties such as surface effect, small-size effect and quantum size effect. In recent year, investigations of the structural and phase transformations of nanomaterials under high pressure are receiving increasing attentions. In addition to composition and synthetic routes, pressure provides a clean way to adjust interatomic distance and hence affect the crystal structure and thus properties of the nanostructured materials.Two nanomaterials (i.e. TiO2 and Li4Ti5O12) with different morphologies are studied in this thesis.
In part I, the high-pressure behaviours of four hydrothermal synthesized 1D rutile …
In Situ High-Pressure Study Of Metal-Organic Frameworks And Their Performance For Co2 Storage Probed By Vibrational Spectroscopy, Yue Hu
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an important class of porous materials, owing to their potential applications in a variety of areas, including gas storage, molecular separations, catalysis, sensors and so on. Most importantly, their extraordinary surface areas, tunable pore properties and potential for industrial scale production have made MOFs a promising material for clean energy applications, such as CO2 storage. The chemical and mechanical stabilities of MOFs play a crucial role in their CO2 storage performance, which require extreme loading pressures that are far beyond ambient pressure at times. Application of high external pressure (e.g., in gigapascal range) on …
