Nanocomposites : characterization and applications towards electrical energy storage devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
The growing need for energy to be stored in decreasing volumes has resulted in extensive amounts of research into materials chemistry, new fabrication techniques, and the utilization of nano-materials. In this investigation, ...
Nanogap embedded silver gratings for surface plasmon enhanced fluorescence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Plasmonic nanostructures have been extensively used in the past few decades for applications in sub-wavelength optics, data storage, optoelectronic circuits, microscopy and bio-photonics. The enhanced electric field produced ...
Sub-2 nm platinum nanoparticles growth study and device applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
This work describes a tilted-target RF magnetron sputter deposition system to grow nanoparticles in a controlled way. With detailed characterization of ultra-high density (up to 1.1 ?�� 10[superscript 13] cm?�???) and ...
Plasmonic-enhanced fluorescent conjugated polymer chemosensor for ultra-sensitive detection of nitroaromatic vapors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Rapid degradation of fluorescent conjugated polymers in ambient conditions imposes severe restrictions on their utility for long-term, portable sensing applications. This dissertation discusses the combined use of low-density, ...
Utilizing the size dependent crystallinity, catalytic activity and charge retention characteristics of ultrafine sub-2 nm Pt nanoparticles in electrochemical/electrical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Use of nanoparticles (NPs) instead of the bulk material in catalytic/electrical systems is a growing trend, which has resulted in more efficient catalytic systems and low-power operational electrical transduction systems. ...
