Molecular Energy Transfer Processes in Nonequilibrium Hypersonic Flows

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
The seminar gives an overview of experimental, theoretical, and kinetic modeling studies of molecular energy transfer in high-speed nonequilibrium flows and low-temperature plasmas at the OSU Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics Laboratories.

Plasmonics and molecular photonics in liquid solution

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Nanostructured conductors (for example: gold, silver) interact with electromagnetic waves in fascinating and potentially useful ways; the scientific domain studying this is called plasmonics. Progress in the fabrication of nanomaterials gives access to structures with tailored plasmonic properties.

Nanoscale Engineering of Efficient Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysts by Tailoring the Local Chemical Environment of Pt Surface Sites

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Note different time and location. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is the major source of overpotential loss in low-temperature fuel cells.  Expensive, Pt-based materials have been found to be the most effective catalysts, but exploration of alternatives has been hampered by stability constraints at the typical operating conditions of low pH and high potent

Storing renewable electricity in batteries running on water

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
With the rapid growth of solar and wind energy, a new challenge arises: how to store renewable electricity to warrant a continuous energy supply?
