Earth-Abundant Transition Metal Hydride Complexes for Dehydrocoupling and Hydrosilylation Catalysis
DownloadFall 2015
The research presented in this thesis details the synthesis of transition metal hydride complexes, with the focus on utilising these complexes for (a) the dehydrocoupling of amine-borane adducts, and (b) the hydrosilylation and hydroboration of unsaturated organic moieties. In both instances,...

Synthesis, Surface Functionalization of Germanium Nanoparticles, and Their Application in Polymer Hybrid Solar Cells
DownloadSpring 2020
Germanium nanoparticles (GeNPs) have immense potential in various applications, such as opto-electronics, batteries, bioimaging, etc. Germanium has a small band gap (0.67 eV in bulk), large exciton Bohr radius (~24 nm), high absorption coefficient (ca. 2.0 × 105 cm 1 at 2 eV), and high carrier...
