The Influence Of Ion-Ion Correlations On Conductivity In Concentrated Ionic Systems, Md Dipu Ahmed
The Influence Of Ion-Ion Correlations On Conductivity In Concentrated Ionic Systems, Md Dipu Ahmed
Masters Theses
This study delves into the fascinating realm of concentrated ionic systems, such as ionic liquids, superionic materials, organic ionic plastic crystals, and polyelectrolytes, which hold immense potential for energy storage applications. The focus is on understanding the intricate role of ionic correlations in shaping their ionic conductivity behavior. These correlations can either boost or impede conductivity, yet their underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Through extensive investigation of various materials, including ionic liquids with differing anionic masses, pure organic ionic plastic crystals, and doped systems, this research employs advanced techniques like dielectric spectroscopy and innovative momentum conservation models to quantify these correlations. …

Chirality, Symmetry-Breaking, And Chemical Substitution In Multiferroics, Kiman Park
Doctoral Dissertations
Multiferroic materials attract significant attention due to their potential utility in a broad range of device applications. The inclusion of heavy metal centers in these materials enhances their magnetoelectric properties, yielding fascinating physical phenomena such as the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction, nonreciprocal directional dichroism, enhancement of spin-phonon coupling, and spin-orbit-entangled ground states. This dissertation provides a comprehensive survey of magnetoelectric multiferroics containing heavy metal centers and explores spectroscopic techniques under extreme conditions. A microscopic examination of phase transitions, symmetry-breaking, and structure-property relationships enhances the fundamental understanding of coupling mechanisms.
In A2Mo3O8 (A = Fe, Zn, Ni, and Mn), we use optical spectroscopy …
Synthesizing, Purifying, And Characterizing Molten Chloride Salts, Phillip W. Halstenberg
Synthesizing, Purifying, And Characterizing Molten Chloride Salts, Phillip W. Halstenberg
Doctoral Dissertations
Molten chloride salts have vast potential as heat transfer fluids with both nuclear and concentrated solar power applications. For application in energy systems, the characteristics that govern these systems must be well understood. This work focuses on inorganic molten chloride salts with a special emphasis on the experimental aspect of chemical research. Chapter 2 covers the synthetic approaches for the formation of molten chloride mixtures. Many salts can be purchased from industrial suppliers, but most must be purified therefore, Chapter 3 evaluates various methodology developed for removal of impurities in salt mixtures. Once the salt of proper content and purity …

Mechanochemical Synthesis Of Task-Specific Conjugated Porous Networks Towards Enhanced Energy Storage, Juntian Fan
Doctoral Dissertations
Conjugated scaffolds with high electronic conductivity, high surface area, etc. are promising materials for diverse technological applications, especially in the electrochemical field. However, the current synthesis methods are still limited to the traditional solution-based method or the ionothermal method, which always require an inert atmosphere shield, large amounts of organic solvents, noble catalysts, long reaction time up to days, and high temperatures, etc. Therefore, there is a common goal of developing conjugated scaffolds through facile, green, straightforward pathways. Mechanochemistry, which is an efficient, sustainable, solvent-free methodology, could provide a unique reaction environment to synthesize this kind of functionalized materials, resulting …
