Investigation of Highly Effective and Stable Electrocatalysts for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction at Room and Elevated Temperatures
DownloadFall 2017
To effectively reduce and utilize atmospheric CO2, electrochemically converting it to CO on an efficient and stable electrocatalyst at room and elevated temperatures has attracted extensive interests. However, present electrocatalysts usually suffer from sluggish kinetics, high overpotential, low...

Investigation of Interfacial Chemistry for High Energy Density Triboelectric Nano-generators
DownloadSpring 2018
There are several ambient sources, available abundantly and naturally, that can create vibrations such as wind, water current, body movements, vehicles in motion, etc. from which energy can be harvested. There are several types of electrostatic generators proposed to harvest energy from these...

Investigation of pathways of CO and CO2 in a Fischer-Tropsch system using tracer studies, development of reaction mechanism and kinetic expressions
DownloadFall 2015
The Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is an indirect feeds-to-liquids process to produce synthetic crude oil from any carbonaceous source such as coal, natural gas or biomass. The carbonaceous source is converted to synthesis gas by gasification or reforming, which then undergoes simultaneous...

Investigation of polyetherimide’s thermal degradation and fabrication of thermal end-of-life sensor for fire protective clothing
DownloadSpring 2021
Typically, protective clothing are made of materials that have a high temperature resistance, good mechanical and chemical properties. However, some high-performance textiles – including those used in protective clothing – age silently, undergoing a gradual reduction in their protective...

Investigation of Surface Crack Growth Behaviour Under Variable Pressure Fluctuations in Near-Neutral pH Environments
DownloadFall 2017
The goal of this investigation was to study the corrosion fatigue behaviour and mechanisms of surface cracks, semi-elliptical in shape, when exposed to near-neutral pH environments conducive to the environments experienced in the field. To better simulate field conditions, while avoiding the...
