Efficient Electrochemical Functionalization Of Carbon Nanotubes And Carbon Nanotube Membranes For Energy, Drug Delivery And Potential Catalysis Applications, Xin Zhan
Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry
Electrochemical diazonium grafting offers versatile functionalization of chemically inert graphite under mild condition, which is particularly suitable for CNT composite modification. Tetrafluorinated carboxylphenyl diazonium grafting provides the most controllable functionalization chemistry allowing near monolayer levels of functionality on carbon nanotubes. The functional density was successfully quantified by anion selective dye-assay and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of thiol-Au self-assembled monolayers (SAM) as a calibration reference. This technique enables monolayer functionality at the tips of carbon nanotube membranes for biomimetic pumps and valves as well as thin conductive layers for CNT-based high area electrochemical support electrodes.
Double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) membranes were …
Acenes And Acenequinones For Optics And Organic Electronics, Matthew Bruzek
Acenes And Acenequinones For Optics And Organic Electronics, Matthew Bruzek
Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry
Acenes have been explored by a number of research groups in the field of organic electronics with a particular emphasis on transistor materials. This group has been actively studying acene‐based organic semiconductors for more than a decade using a crystal engineering approach and has developed acene derivatives for applications in field‐effect transistors, light‐emitting diodes, and photovoltaics. In addition to organic electronics, crystal engineering has important applications in a number of other fields, quite notably in the design of metal‐organic frameworks. Chapters 2 and 3 of this dissertation focus on applying crystal engineering to the synthesis of acene derivatives for use …
N-Doped Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes: Functionalization, Characterization And Application In Li Ion Batteries, Aman Preet Kaur
N-Doped Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes: Functionalization, Characterization And Application In Li Ion Batteries, Aman Preet Kaur
Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry
The focus of this dissertation is to utilize chemical functionalization as a probe to investigate the reactivity of N-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (N-MWCNTs). The surface of N-MWCNTs, being a set of potentially reactive graphene edges, provides a large number of reactive sites for chemical modification, so considerable changes in chemical and physical properties can be envisaged. We observed that both reduction (dissolving metal reduction/alkylation) and oxidation (H2SO4/HNO3 and H2SO4/KMnO4 mixtures) of N-MWCNTs lead to formation of interesting spiral channels and spiraled carbon nanoribbons. A variety of techniques, including TGA, SEM, …
Optimization Of The Optical And Electrochemical Properties Of Donor-Acceptor Copolymers Through Functional Group And Side Chain Modification, Mark J. Seger
Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry
Donor-acceptor copolymers have received a great deal of attention for application as organic semiconductors, in particular as the active layers in low-cost consumer electronics. The functional groups grafted to the polymer backbones generally dictate the molecular orbital energies of the final materials as well as aid in self-assembly. Additionally, the side chains attached to these functional groups not only dictate the solubility of the final materials, but also their morphological characteristics. The bulk of the research presented in this dissertation focuses on the synthesis and structure-property relationships of polymers containing novel acceptor motifs. Chapter 2 focuses on the synthesis of …

FLUORINATED ARENE, IMIDE AND LACTAM-FUNCTIONALIZED DONOR ACCEPTOR CONJUGATED POLYMERS: SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE-PROPERTY AND DEVICE STUDIES
After the discovery of doped polyacetylene, organic semiconductor materials are widely studied as high impending active components in consumer electronics. They have received substantial consideration due to their potential for structural tailoring, low cost, large area and mechanically flexible alternatives to common inorganic semiconductors. To acquire maximum use of these materials, it is essential to get a strong idea about their chemical and physical nature. Material chemist has an enormous role to play in this novel area, including development of efficient synthetic methodologies and control the …
