<em>Ab Initio</em> Studies of High Temperature Pyrolysis Mechanisms in Heterocyclic Nitrogen-Containing Compounds.
… of various coal constituents undergoing pyrolysis are of great concern in environmental circles (especially those coal constituents containing nitrogen). Most methods of burning coal that are efficient involve doing so at high temperatures. This invariably results in a large portion of …

Functionalized carbon surfaces for clean electrochemical energy systems
… catalysts on a carbon support (Pt/C). The high cost and limited availability of platinum hinders the applicability of FCs. Nitrogen and metal-doped carbon supports have been investigated as a non-precious metal replacement for costly precious metal-based materials in various electrochemical …

Measuring rate constants and product branching for reactions relevant to combustion and atmospheric chemistry
… of a complex, thermalized process, such as pyrolysis. Laser flash photolysis (LFP) with molecular beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) offers a compromise between CMB and end-product experiments: the reaction conditions are thermalized but still simple enough that primary products can be quantified …

Synthetic Molecular Models for the Oxygen Reduction Active Sites in Heteroatom-Doped Graphitic Electrocatalysts: Linking Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Electrocatalysis
The development and deployment of low-temperature fuel cell technologies require that low-cost platinum-free catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) that are highly active, selective, and durable be created. To this point, the advancement of potential replacement catalysts such as metal- …

Fundamental Understanding and Functionality of Silicon Oxycarbide
… of SiOC is determined by polymeric precursors, pyrolysis temperatures, and atmosphere, which results in different compositions and microstructures. Because of its unique properties (high thermal stability, corrosion resistance, among others), SiOC has numerous applications in fields such as …
