Novel syntheses and behavior of precious metal nanoparticles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this work, I report the detailed syntheses of both gold-doped iron oxide (Au@Fe2O3) and silver nanocrystals (AgNCs). The Au@Fe2O3 was ...
Sustainable chemical approaches to two-dimensional nanosheets and mesoporous platforms and catalysts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance. Chapter 4 accounts the successful synthesis of few-layered MoS2/rGO, SnS2/rGO, and (MoS2)x(SnO2)1-x/rGO nanohybrids anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) through a facile hydrothermal reaction...
An evaluation of the need for critically refined purification procedures in fluorescent carbon dot syntheses : the ramifications of the ubiquitous presence of reaction by-products on quenchometric and light harvesting applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
' alluring electron donor/acceptor capabilities afford their implementation as dual reducing and capping agents towards the formation of metal nanoparticle/carbon dot composites that possess a high degree of optical tunability. The ability to modulate...
Polyionic nanoclays as tailorable hybrid organic-inorganic platforms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
We disclose the synthesis, characterization, and application of an imidazolium-based hybrid inorganic-organic layered magnesium phyllo(organo)silicate nanosheets, coined polyionic nanoclays (PINCs), as an emergent class ...
Investigation of the thermostability and activity of biomolecules in bio-friendly deep eutectic solvents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The solvent environment of a biomolecule is critical to its optimal performance in various scenarios, including biocatalysis, drug delivery, therapeutics, and biosensing. This dissertation mainly discusses the implementation ...
