Noble Metal Free Catalysts For Hydrogen Generation From Aqueous Solutions, Dan Liu Jan 2015

Noble Metal Free Catalysts For Hydrogen Generation From Aqueous Solutions, Dan Liu

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The current energy crisis is becoming more and more serious due to the industrial development and increasing population. Mimicking photosynthesis in plants provides a new way to solve this crisis. The goal is to harness solar energy and convert it into energy stored in chemical bonds such as methanol or hydrogen gas. Currently, most catalysts for proton reduction contain precious metals, such as palladium, platinum and ruthenium. The main goal of our research is to develop catalysts made of earth abundant metals. By incorporating organic ligands in our complexes, we can make catalysts that have similar catalytic activity as those …


Studies Of Molecular Dynamics Of Fmoc Amino Acids Using Solid State Deuteron Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Wei Xu Jan 2015

The purpose of devising and validating models for intramolecular motions for FMOC amino acids is to quantify side chain motion in proteins which plays an important role in understanding biological structure function relations of proteins. In this thesis, spin lattice relaxation times (Ti) of FMOC amino acids were m easured under both static and magic angle spinning (MAS) condition at variable tem peratures. Lower activation energies of the relaxation times than the normal amino acids observed indicate a less sterically crowded environment for the rotation methyl group. A three-site jump model for the methyl group w as developed to fit …
