    • Adsorption of light gases and gas mixtures on zeolites and nanoporous carbons 
      Mitchell, Lucas Alexander (2014-04-01)
      Department: Chemical Engineering
      The ability to accurately predict mixture adsorption equilibrium is vital for future gas separation technologies. This research concentrates on the investigation and prediction of adsorption equilibrium of pure components ...
    • Individual Carbon Emissions 
      Vandenbergh, Michael P.; Barkenbus, Jack; Gilligan, Jonathan (UCLA Law Review, 2008)
      The individual and household sector generates roughly 30 to 40 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and is a potential source of prompt and large emissions reductions. Yet the assumption that only extensive government ...
    • Integration of Photosystem I with Carbon-Based Materials for Solar Energy Conversion Devices 
      Winter, Kevin Matthew (2014-07-25)
      Department: Chemistry
      Photosystem I is a photoactive membrane protein found in higher plants, some algae, and cyanobacteria. It is part of the solar energy conversion mechanism that fuels most life on the planet. It has been shown that photocurrents ...
    • Novel Adsorbent Synthesis, Diffusion in Nanoporous Materials, and Adsorption System Optimization 
      Glover, Thomas Grant (2008-04-11)
      Department: Chemical Engineering
      This research focuses three specific topics related to gas-phase adsorption: the synthesis and characterization of a novel carbon-silica composite adsorbent material, the diffusion of condensable vapors in single adsorbent ...
    • Sustainable Manufacturing of Carbon Nanomaterials for Energy Storage Applications 
      Douglas, Anna Elisabeth (2019-03-27)
      Department: Interdisciplinary Materials Science
      In order to preserve long-term human sustainability on Earth, many researchers have focused significant efforts towards developing technologies that 1) decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and 2) utilize atmospheric carbon ...
