Theoretical Study of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on poly-terthiophene
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
We report on an investigation of the overall mechanism of the reaction of reduction of molecular oxygen (ORR reaction) on poly-terthiophene by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) computation. The calculations predict ...
Theoretical investigations of Metal-N4-Graphene and Metal-C3N4 catalysts for CO2 reduction
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
In the present work, we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the nature of the active sites, their structures, and the associated free energies to achieve CO or HCOOH formation during CO2 ...
Boron, Boron Hyperdoped Silicon and Silicon Nanoparticle Synthesis by Laser Pyrolysis with Applications in Energy Storage
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
This dissertation presents three examples of how laser pyrolysis synthesis can be used to develop new nanomaterials for energy applications. In the first chapter, we will discuss synthesis, characterization and application ...
Advanced polymeric membranes for hydrogen purification and carbon dioxide capture
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
CO2 capture, sequestration, and utilization is a critical path to mitigate the CO2 emissions to the environment. An important strategy is to decarbonize fossil fuels and produce H2 and CO2 at high temperatures. The resulting ...
ASSESSMENT OF VARIABLE-DOSE SCHEDULING EFFECTS ON THE KINETICS AND HOMING OF ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC T CELLS IN CANCER VIA OPTICAL IMAGING
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Ovarian Epithelial cancer is the most prevalent form of ovarian cancer overall. It is the leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality, partly due to its lack of distinctive symptoms. The mainstay for treatment for ...
NANOPARTICLES WITH POTENTIAL REMINERALIZING AND ANTI-BACTERIAL PROPERTIES FOR USE IN DENTAL ADHESIVES
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Caries is regarded as one of the primary diseases affecting the human teeth and is the cause of most dental restorations. The estimated cost of replacing failed restorations alone is well over a billion dollars annually ...
Electrochemical Treatment of Tumors (EChT)
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Electrochemical treatment of cancerous tumors is a minimally invasive, versatile and relatively safe technology in which the direct electric current is changed to destructive reaction products by electrochemical reactions ...
Gas Separation and Trapping through a computational study: Simulation for CO2 / N2 and Poly (1, 3 dioxolane) (PDXL) / Tetrahydrofuran (THF)
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
When the concept of greenhouse effects was first discussed, society started to be interested in abating their negative influence and taking steps to decrease anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Capturing, storing, ...
Flame-based synthesis of multi-component metal nanoparticles and conductive inks
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Metal nanoparticles are of significant interest because of their useful chemical, optical, catalytic, and electrical properties. Among the various applications of metal nanoparticles, printed electronics is of particular ...
Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Excitation-Dependent Photoluminescent Graphene Nanosheets from Glucose
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Graphene nanosheets (GNS) have attracted attention because of their superior water dispersibility, chemical inertness, photostability against bleaching and low toxicity compared to other carbon materials. In this work, we ...
