Designing Metal-Halide Perovskites With Enhanced Optical Properties And Stability Using Surface Ligands, Md Aslam Uddin
Designing Metal-Halide Perovskites With Enhanced Optical Properties And Stability Using Surface Ligands, Md Aslam Uddin
Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry
Metal-halide perovskites (MHPs), with formula ABX3 (A = methylammonium, formamidinium, or Cs+; B = Sn2+ or Pb2+; and X = Cl-, Br-, or I-) are versatile and attractive materials because of their tunable optical and electronic properties. These optical and electronic properties include tunable direct band gaps, high absorption coefficients, low exciton binding energies, relatively high electron and hole mobilities, narrow emission line-widths, and high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (ΦPL). Much of the initial excitement around organic metal-halide perovskites focused on their application in photovoltaics (PVs) …

Identification Of Adsorbate Ft-Ir Bands Using In-Situ Techniques: Pd Speciation And Adsorption Chemistry Of Pd-Zeolites For Passive Nox Adsorption, Robert Bruce Pace Iii
Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry
To meet increasingly stringent automotive emissions standards, further improvements in catalytic converter design are necessary. Current automotive catalyst systems are effective at eliminating emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) once the catalyst reaches operational temperature (~200 °C). NOx emitted at lower catalyst temperatures now comprises most of the NOx released during a typical test cycle. Referred to as “the cold start problem” this issue has come to the forefront of automotive catalyst development, as mitigating these emissions is necessary to further reduce automotive emissions. Passive NOx adsorbers present an appealing solution to the cold start problem, …
Design Of Pigments For Use In “Cool” Coatings, Tyler Laughorn
Design Of Pigments For Use In “Cool” Coatings, Tyler Laughorn
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This project was focused on the development and testing of several novel pigments that exhibit high NIR-reflectance and therefore show potential for use in “cool” coatings. A “cool” coating will reflect more solar radiation than other standard coatings, and so a coated structure would require less energy to keep cool. Four sets of pigments were synthesized: Co1-xMgxCr2O4 (teal), Co0.25Mg0.75Cr2-yAlyO4 (blue), Ti1-x-yNixSbyO2 (yellow), and Cr2-xFexO3 (black). NIR and TSR values were then measured …

The products of each reaction will be characterized in order to determine success. This work builds upon existing efforts to utilize mechanochemical techniques in main group chemistry. The output of this project will be a report in ACS style and a poster to be presented for …
Mixed-Valent Heterometallic Molecular Precursors : Expansion Into 4d Transition Metals, Jesse Caleb Carozza
Mixed-Valent Heterometallic Molecular Precursors : Expansion Into 4d Transition Metals, Jesse Caleb Carozza
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Hydrogen fuel can provide an ideal carbon-free energy carrier wherever water is available, be that on Earth or throughout the solar system. The use of water electrolysis to split water molecules into contaminant-free hydrogen gas, suitable for use in fuel cells, and oxygen gas allows also for storage of excess electrical energy during periods of high production and low demand, and an easy path to release that stored energy when demand is high and active supply is low. However, liberating hydrogen from water is an energy-intensive process, and effective electrocatalysts that reduce the amount of energy wasted by the reaction …
Investigations Of Pnictogen And Boron-Group Compounds Towards The Synthesis Of Group Iii/V Pre-Ceramic Molecules, Brandon James Ackley
Investigations Of Pnictogen And Boron-Group Compounds Towards The Synthesis Of Group Iii/V Pre-Ceramic Molecules, Brandon James Ackley
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Semiconductor ceramics have been the subject of study for many years due to their usefulness in applications ranging from LED devices to computer chips. Despite the ubiquity of semiconductor ceramics in daily life, the synthesis and manufacturing of such devices is tedious, energy intensive, or have a high potential for danger. Manufacturing methods such as deposition require the use of toxic or pyrophoric gases as well as requiring the temperatures often exceeding 1,000 °C. One way to address the issues of toxicity and high thermal barriers can be found in the implementation of pre-ceramic materials; materials which are either molecular …
Spectroscopic Investigation Into The Heme Binding And The Heme Degradation By Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Mhud, Biswash Thakuri
Spectroscopic Investigation Into The Heme Binding And The Heme Degradation By Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Mhud, Biswash Thakuri
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
MhuD is a heme degrading enzyme found across mycobacteria. In the heme uptake machinery of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, MhuD is a heme oxygenase (HO) involved in catalyzing the degradation of heme. Canonical HOs, such as human HO, have been shown to degrade heme to non-heme iron, carbon monoxide (CO) and biliverdin. However, MhuD has been demonstrated to degrade heme to non-heme iron and mycobilin without the release of CO. Formation of a novel chromophore by MhuD revealed that it follows a unique heme degradation mechanism compared to that of canonical HOs. Binding of heme to MhuD is the first step in …

Synthesis Of Supported Metal Nanoparticles On High Surface Area Supports For Application In Energy Conversion And Heterogeneous Catalysis, Nazgol Norouzi
Theses and Dissertations
Precise control of metal nanoparticles’ size, composition, and dispersity over high surface area supports are highly desirable to address current challenges in energy storage and conversion as well as catalytic processes involving precious metals. Therefore, developing viable synthetic routes that enable new catalytic systems derived from inexpensive transition metals or limited use of precious metals is vital for clean energy applications such as fuel cells and rechargeable batteries or affordable drugs in the pharmaceuticals arena. In addition to metal components of heterogeneous catalysts, the catalyst support is an integral part of catalyst design as it can impart both physical stability …
Transition Metal Chalcogenide Hybrid Systems As Catalysts For Energy Conversion And Biosensing, Siddesh Umapathi
Transition Metal Chalcogenide Hybrid Systems As Catalysts For Energy Conversion And Biosensing, Siddesh Umapathi
Doctoral Dissertations
"Generation of hydrogen and oxygen through catalyst-aided water splitting which has immense applications in metal air batteries, PEM fuel cells and solar to fuel energy production, has been one of the critical topics in recent times. The state of art oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts are mostly comprised of precious metals. The current challenge lies in replacing these precious metal-based catalysts with non-precious earth-abundant materials without compromising catalytic efficiency.
This research explores mixed metal selenides containing Fe-Ni, Fe-Co and RhSe which were hydrothermally synthesized and/or electrodeposited and tested for OER and ORR …
Uncovering Structure-Property Relationships Of Inorganic Nanomaterials Via Transmission Electron Microscopy, Melonie Thomas
Uncovering Structure-Property Relationships Of Inorganic Nanomaterials Via Transmission Electron Microscopy, Melonie Thomas
Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry
The rapid increase of research in nanoscale devices and nanotechnology in the past few decades has revealed that nanomaterials may possess exceptional properties that are significantly different from the bulk counterpart, due to local rearrangements of the atoms at surfaces and defects. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an indispensable tool when it comes to the characterization of nanomaterials, primarily due to its ability to resolve the local-structure of materials at the atomic-scale. To study dynamic processes, however, regular TEM experiments are inadequate, as they provide only before and after information rather than the real-time data essential to understanding a reaction …
Cobalt-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Cyclization Reactions Of Bisnucleophiles: New Methodologies And The Role Of Bisnucleophiles In O2 Activation, Jiaqi Liu
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Over the past few decades, transition metals have found wide applications in the development of selective oxidative transformations mediated by molecular oxygen. Due to the benign nature of molecular oxygen as an oxidant and an increasing awareness of green chemistry practice, tremendous progress has been made towards the development of Cu-and Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidation reactions. As a first-row transition metal alternative to copper, cobalt has been employed in aerobic catalytic transformations for its cost-efficiency and earth abundance; however, redox-active mediators such as benzoquinone (BQ), N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) or salen-type ligands are usually required. To date, reactions mediated by Co/O2 catalytic …
Synthesis And Characterization Of Pyridine Dipyrrolide Iron Complexes Relevant To Nitrene And Carbene Group Transfer, Brett M. Hakey
Synthesis And Characterization Of Pyridine Dipyrrolide Iron Complexes Relevant To Nitrene And Carbene Group Transfer, Brett M. Hakey
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The synthesis and electronic structures of the square-planar high-spin FeII complexes (MesPDPPh)Fe(OEt2) and (MesPDPPh)Fe(thf) were investigated. Analysis of these compounds using a combination of 1H NMR and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopies, in conjunction with computational analysis, has resulted in a rationalization for their unusual electronic structures, which arise from the unique coordination environment enforced by the pyridine dipyrrolide chelate ligand.
The reactivity of (MesPDPPh)Fe(thf) with organic azides has been probed and resulted in the isolation of an array of products that are consistent with …
Synthesis And Characterization Of Starburst Pseudorotaxanes And Their Metallic Derivatives, Shalini D. Kadinappulige
Synthesis And Characterization Of Starburst Pseudorotaxanes And Their Metallic Derivatives, Shalini D. Kadinappulige
Masters Theses
Mechanically Interlocked Molecules (MIMs) are interlocked molecular architectures, characterized by the fact that they are linked through a mechanical bond. Catenanes, rotaxanes, molecular knots, and Borromean rings are typical examples for these molecules. Since MIMs are not connected by covalent bonds, hydrogen bonding, π- π stacking, and/or electrostatic interactions help bring the components together. Dialkyl-ammonium centers, bis(pyridinium)ethane dications, viologen species, and naphthalenediimide π-deficient groups are well known as recognition motifs for crown ethers. In the research described here, we have synthesized several pseudorotaxanes and their tricyclohexyltin metallic derivatives, based on benzobis(imidazolium) (BBI) salts as axles, in combination with the 15DN38C10 …
