Calorimetric studies of small-molecule adsorption to carbon nanotubes
… comparing the heat of absorption of small molecules to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). In agreement with other studies, it was shown that polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can achieve a greater degree of n-orbital overlap with the curved surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) …

Studies of Macromolecule/Molecule Adsorption and Activity at Interfaces
… on a wide variety of polysaccharide systems. Adsorption of cationic cellulose derivatives onto self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces was investigated using liquid-phase SPR. Results from SPR showed that depending upon the cellulose derivative structure, irreversible adsorption ranging from a …

Spectroscopic Studies of Small Molecule Adsorption and Oxidation on TiO2-Supported Coinage Metals and Zr6-based Metal-Organic Frameworks
… between catalytic surfaces and adsorbed molecules is imperative to the rational design of new materials for catalytic, sorption and gas separation applications. Experiments that probed the chemistry at the gas-surface interface were employed through the utilization of in situ infrared …

FIRST-PRINCIPLES MODELING OF MOF74 FOR GAS SEQUESTRATION AND STORAGE APPLICATIONS
… porous materials with affinities toward small-molecule uptake. In particular, I look to study and improve a particular MOF, i.e. MOF74, as a viable hydrogen storage material and carbon capture tool. This is done through first-principles calculations with a focus on correctly describing van der …

NONLINEAR AND ULTRAFAST OPTICAL STUDIES OF INTERFACIAL PROCESSES IN PHOTOVOLTAIC NANOMATERIALS
… have been employed to study dye molecular adsorption and charge transfer dynamics in several solar energy conversion systems, including 1) DSSC, where solvent effects are investigated to understand why acetonitrile is the most effective solvent; 2) Ag/TiO2 heterostructure system, where a …

A systematic study of ion-induced nanopatterning on photonic crystal-based label-free optical biosensor
… by providing a larger surface area for target adsorption. For example, a sensor surface coated with nanorods has been shown to increase the amount of proteins adsorbed by up to 4x. The tailoring of topography and chemistry can be achieved by the use of ion-beam nanopatterning, in which a beam …
