Journal of Electrochemistry

The sulfur mustard (bis(2-chloroethyl) sulphide, HD), one of highly toxic chemical weapon agents, can damage the alive tissue cells (such as skin, lung, respiratory mucosa and so on), and cause carcinogenic and mutagenic effects for a long time exposure, which imposes a great threat not only to the human health, but also to the sustainable development of the society. With its convenience, high sensitivity and rapid response, electrochemical technology exhibits considerable potential in the field-deployed detection toward HD, but the related reports are rare. Herein, the electrochemical behavior of HD on the bare Pt electrode was investigated by electrochemical measurements, …

Doctoral Dissertations

This work is divided into two comprehensive subjects exploiting fundamental properties of physical chemistry to understand applied materials. The two subjects will be: the inelastic neutron scattering of thin polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films and the design and development of a quartz crystal microbalance-based ethylene detector. For the work involving the thin films, the inelastic neutron scattering (INS) was accomplished using the high flux of the VISION vibrational spectrometer at the Spallation Neutron Source yielding the highest quality data currently available. The torsional vibrational modes of biaxially-oriented PET (bPET) will be reported with the help of DFT calculations to aid in …
