Title: Conditioning of Platinum Nanoparticle Catalysts for Improved Hydrogen Generation on P3HT:PCBM Bulk Heterojunction Photocathodes
Author: Ivins, Reynolds
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry, Environmental engineering, Renewable energy sources
Description: This work aims to design, develop, and investigate the capacity of a metal catalyst-coated organic photoelectrode to produce molecular hydrogen when illuminated in acidic media. 3-5 nm platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) were synthesized, treated to re...

Title: Electrochromic, Electrofluorochromic, and Photoactive Properties of Thiazolothiazole-Based, Multifunctional Materials
Author: Adams, Tyler
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry, Nanoscience
Description: There have been an increasing number of materials developed that show multifunctional chromogenic properties (such as electrochromism, electrofluorochromism, or photochromism), but to date, few materials have shown all three properties. Materials ...

Title: INTERFACE STUDY OF SPIRO-OMETAD ON PASSIVATED P-, N-, AND N+-Si(111) FOR USE IN TANDEM PEROVSKITE/SILICON SOLAR CELL DEVICES
Author: Nguyen, Li
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry, Chemistry, Physical and theoretical, Renewable energy sources
Description: The organic semiconductor 2,2’,7,7’-tetrakis-(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)9,9’-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD) contact properties are studied on p-, n-, and n+-type silicon. Spiro-OMeTAD is a solid state hole conductor that has notably been used in...

Title: Synthesis, photophysical characterization, and application of asymmetric thiazolothiazoles as molecular sensors
Author: Sayresmith, Nickolas
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Nanoscience, Chemistry
Description: Small molecule fluorophores are critical for fluorescence spectroscopy, and enable the measurement of a wide array of biological processes and dynamics. For many biological sensing applications, the overall efficacy of the fluorophore is closely c...

Title: THE SYNTHESIS AND PHOTOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PORPHYRIN PHOTOACTIVE MATERIALS FOR USE AS SENSITIZERS IN ORGANIC PHOTOVOLTAICS AND PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY
Author: Marin, Dawn
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Nanoscience, Chemistry, Physical and theoretical, Chemistry
Description: Solar energy conversion and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are very different applications. However, both utilize very similar photoactive molecules called porphyrins. Porphyrins are structural analogs of chlorophyll and also function as prosthetic gr...
