Fabrication of palladium and platinum nanoparticles decorated reduced graphene oxide as a highly active and stable electrocatalyst
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this work, we have developed new types of flexible electrodes based on chemical and electrochemical techniques by decorated reduced graphene oxide ...
Study of battery storage to delay infrastructure upgrade in the electrical grid
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
As energy consumption continues to rise in the United States, there exists a need to increase energy production, through either existing methods or the development of new methods. Environmental concerns encourage the use ...
Wearable energy-harvesting micro devices /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The focus of this dissertation is wearable energy-harvesting mircro devices. They are designed to harvest energy from the surrounding environment to ...
Exploration of an electron linear accelerator-driven photoneutron source for BNCT
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
A computational model of a proof-of-concept photoneutron source experiment was created and benchmarked. The neutron output from this system could be used for a number of therapies including Boron Neutron-Capture Therapy, ...
Instability in a palladium hydride system due to a fast electrical perturbation caused by a pulsed power system /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Nanoporous palladium with a specific surface area of 29.12 m2g-1 was created using highly loaded palladium hydride wires subjected to a fast electrical pulse of energy. The delivered energy of approximately 0.5 J was ...
A general method for sizing battery energy storage systems for use in mitigating photovoltaic flicker
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
A method for sizing battery energy storage (BES) systems for use in mitigating voltage flicker caused by solar intermittency in photovoltaic generation was developed. The method creates a "design day" from existing solar ...
Fuel handling accident analysis for the university of Missouri research reactors high enriched uranium to low enriched uranium fuel conversion initiative
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Engineers from Argonne National Lab's Global Threat Reduction Initiative program and engineers from the MU Research Reactor are working together to covert the MU Research Reactor from using high-enriched uranium fuel to ...
Computational modeling of neutron production by a Siemens Oncor Linac and benchmarked by experimental data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Modeling neutron production by an electron driven linear accelerator using Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) transport code can show the potential for this accelerator to be used as a neutron generator to produce short-lived ...
Characterization of thermally activated solid electrolyte lithium anode primary reserve batteries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this research was to perform an initial characterization of the capabilities of thermal batteries. Thermal batteries have a very high theoretical specific energy. If they also have a suitably high specific ...
Control and characterization of a cyclotron proton beam
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The cyclotron proton beam accelerator at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is used for positron emission tomography (PET) applications. Pharmaceutical radioisotopes are produced and delivered to local ...
Fabrication of a novel radiopharmaceutical: lutetium-177 loaded MCM-41mesoporous silica
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Targeted therapy of cancer, by binding the radionuclide with a carrier agent, provides more accurate delivery to focal tumor cell with low uptake in ...
