Iron-sulfur clusters are recognized widely as ancient cofactors that are proposed to have impacted the prebiotic chemistry that led to life. Previous work done by our lab has shown that iron-sulfur clusters could be synthesized prebiotically on cysteine containing tripeptides, but it remains...

The Synthesis of Rhodium Catalyst-Organic Frameworks for Isomerization and Continuous-Flow Hydrogenation Reactions
DownloadFall 2013
The development of immobilized asymmetric catalysts is of vital importance as it would allow for easy catalyst recovery from the reaction mixture and reuse. One strategy for immobilization involves the synthesis of insoluble polymer-supported catalysts. Most polymeric catalysts are made by...

When considering the different types of natural raw materials used to make fibers for textiles, sources like the cotton plant, flax plant, silk worm, merino sheep, and even wood pulp typically come to mind. However, nowadays new fibers are emerging from unexpected raw materials as researchers and...

Thin film alloys and composites for application of hydrogen storage and oxygen reduction electrocatalysts
DownloadSpring 2015
This thesis encompasses aspects of alloy design, fabrication and characterization of thin films, which are employed as model systems to enhance hydrogen storage kinetics and thermodynamics in magnesium hydride and to enhance the catalytic efficacy and corrosion stability of platinum-based...
