▼ Robots consist of several mechanical and electronics
parts. To accomplish a task, concurrency and coordination between
these parts are required. The complexity of this combination makes
programming of a robot complicated and time consuming. Robotic
development environments (RDEs) were introduced to address this
issue by providing a framework for robotics developers, which
consists of programming tools, program components, and solutions to
common robotics challenges. Robotic programmers can take advantage
of the tools shipped with an
RDE and use already developed
components in their programs. These robotic frameworks offer some
solutions such as teleoperation, distribution of processes, and
predictive display. Some of them also provide a simulation
environment where developers can test their codes on a simulated
model of a robot, without creating or purchasing the actual robot.
In this thesis, some of the most popular RDEs are briefly reviewed
and one is selected. Microsoft Robotics Development Studio (MRDS)
is the
RDE that was chosen to program an existing wire-suspended
video monitoring surveillance robotic system. The service-oriented
architecture of MRDS makes all programs developed in this framework
capable of working with the network and using the Internet as an
infrastructure for teleoperation. Also, the same architecture
allows distribution of processes (services) between multiple
computers. In addition, the powerful simulation environment of MRDS
could be used as a predictive display, allowing operators to
predict and monitor the reaction to their commands; when the
simulated model of the robot responds to the operator's commands at
the same time as the actual robot. The goal of this thesis was to
validate several solutions of MRDS and examine its ease of use and
its helpfulness in speeding up the implementation of robotics
programs. Despite the capabilities these RDEs provide, they present
unique challenges for programmers. This experiment was completed by
developing new MRDS services, using the existing components, and
customizing the existing codes. Some of the features of MRDS are
demonstrated in the final project, letting the operator control the
robot over the Internet simultaneously with the simulated model of
the robot. Also, distribution of processes between several
computers is tested successfully. The experiment showed that the
selected
RDE has powerful capabilities and helpful tools for
developers but it has a long learning curve due to its complexity
which also slows down the development of services and hence the
delivery of the final product.

▼ In order to increase product quality and process performance, the degree of automation
has grown significantly in industries. As a result, systems are increasingly complex and
are accompanied by problems that are difficult to solve due to the high dimensionality
of these systems and the large amount of information flow, as well as the randomness of
faults and defects. An unexpected failure can lead to operational risks, so the importance
of detecting and locating the fault, especially when the industrial plant is still operating in
a controllable region and it is possible to act to bring the process back to normal, safe and
operational. Thus, it is desirable for the fault detection system to provide fast and reliable
responses with a computational effort appropriate for real-time processing, even though it
requires handling large amounts of data. In this context, data stream-oriented algorithms
to outlier detection may be promising candidates for fault detection of industrial process,
because they work with sequences of temporarily ordered samples. In addition, they
handle well with large amount of data because they are recursive and online algorithms
that do not need to store past samples. Thus, in this dissertation two algorithms of this
class are analyzed, named TEDA (Typicality and Eccentricity Data Analytics) and
RDE
(Recursive Density Estimation), when applied to fault detection of industrial processes.
Their performances are compared to R-PCA (Recursive Principal Component Analysis)
algorithm. The classic Tennessee Eastman Process benchmark was used as case study to
evaluate these algorithms.

▼ Accurate timing analysis of digital integrated circuits is becoming harder to achieve with current and future CMOS technologies. The shrinking feature sizes lead to increasingly important local process variations (PV), making existing methods like corner-based static timing analysis (STA) yield overly pessimistic results. While industry faces the uncertainty introduced by PV with time-consuming Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, this thesis presents a general purpose statistical circuit simulator for accurate timing analysis. This simulator uses a statistical simplified transistor model (SSTM) as its main building block, which allows the accurate modeling of both combinational and sequential circuits, and it is able to perform a fast statistical timing analysis of any input circuit by solving a system of random differential equations (RDE). Different experiments, ranging from simple cells to complex combinational circuits, were conducted to validate the simulator accuracy and performance for the 45nm CMOS technology. The obtained results show accurate results for both deterministic and statistical analysis of the circuit signals while effectively reducing the runtime when compared to MC simulations.

▼ [ES] Hoy en día, las regulaciones sobre emisiones de los automóviles se están haciendo más estrictas. Además de los ciclos de homologación estándar, actualmente se están empezando a considerar nuevos métodos de homologación que tienen en cuenta las condiciones reales que se dan en la carretera. Los sistemas de Recirculación de Gases de Escape (EGR) son estrategias que han demostrado ser efectivas durante estacionarios y que también pueden ser usadas en ese tipo de ciclos dinámicos que corresponden a condiciones reales de conducción.
Esta tesis se centra en la implementación de diferentes sistemas EGR para su uso en condiciones dinámicas en motores diésel turbosobrealimentados. En primer lugar, se lleva a cabo un análisis del ciclo de conducción para identificar las operaciones específicas de tipo transitorio más frecuentes en los ciclos dinámicos como WLTC y
RDE. Los resultados muestran que la frecuencia en la que se producen fuertes transitorios en carga es mayor que en la que se producen transitorios de velocidad. Entre ellos, el número de operaciones de tipo Tip-out es superior a las de tipo Tip-Ins, especialmente en el rango de 1250-2000 rpm. Estos fuertes transitorios se repiten en el banco de ensayos de motor equipado con analizadores de gas de alta frecuencia, de forma que se registran la concentración instantánea de CO2 y NOx. También se ha realizado un estudio paramétrico de la actuación de la válvula de EGR durante la operación de varios transitorios fuertes, cuantificando el retraso en el transporte, la concentración de NOx y las partículas. El lazo de EGR de baja presión, LPEGR, ha resultado ser más efectivo cuando se operaba a plena carga, así como durante los transitorios, comparado con el lazo de EGR de alta presión, HPEGR. De esta forma, se propone la válvula de control más adecuada para LPEGR, lo que puede ser útil para la calibración de los transitorios de los motores diésel turbosobrealimentados. Además de ello, se señala el compromiso entre rendimiento y emisiones durante los transitorios de EGR. Al implementar la recirculación de los gases de escape a lo largo de todo el mapa del motor se minimiza la aparición de picos inesperados de emisión de NOx. Concretamente, las estrategias LPEGR consiguen reducir alrededor de un 20-60% los NOx emitidos durante los primeros pocos segundos con menos de un 5% de penalización en el rendimiento.
Adicionalmente, en el documento también se presentan las simulaciones que se han realizado de los modelos unidimensionales de los transitorios. El control de la turbina de geometría variable juega un papel importante a la hora de calibrar el modelo para transitorios de EGR. Además de ello, se lleva a cabo una optimización de la separación de EGR para varios puntos estacionarios por medio de simulaciones que están basadas en el compromiso entre rendimiento y emisiones. Además, se propone un algoritmo para optimizar la separación de EGR, reduciendo en alrededor de un 80% el tiempo de cálculo de un DOE o un método de algoritmo genético. Finalmente, se crea un modelo…

▼ The current research investigates the operation and
performance of various air-breathing propulsion systems, which are
capable of utilizing different types of fuel. This study first
focuses on a modular
RDE configuration, which was mainly studied to
determine which conditions yield stable, continuous rotating
detonation for an ethylene-air mixture. The performance of this
RDE
was analyzed by studying various parameters such as mass flow rate,
equivalence ratios, wave speed and cell size. For relatively low
mass flow rates near stoichiometric conditions, a rotating
detonation wave is observed for an ethylene-
RDE, but at speeds less
than an ideal detonation wave.The current research also involves
investigating the newly designed, Twin Oxidizer Injection Capable
(TOXIC)
RDE. Mixtures of hydrogen and air were utilized for this
configuration, resulting in sustained rotating detonation for
various mass flow rates and equivalence ratios. A thrust stand was
also developed to observe and further measure the performance of
the TOXIC
RDE. Further analysis was conducted to accurately model
and simulate the response of thrust stand during operation of the
RDE.Also included in this research are findings and analysis of a
propulsion system capable of operating on the Inverse Brayton
Cycle. The feasibility of this novel concept was validated in a
previous study to be sufficient for small-scale propulsion systems,
namely UAV applications. This type of propulsion system consists of
a reorganization of traditional gas turbine engine components,
which incorporates expansion before compression. This cycle also
requires a heat exchanger to reduce the temperature of the flow
entering the compressor downstream. While adding a heat exchanger
improves the efficiency of the cycle, it also increases the engine
weight, resulting in less endurance for the aircraft. Therefore,
this study focuses on the selection and development of a new heat
exchanger design that is lightweight, and is capable of
transferring significant amounts of heat and improving the
efficiency and performance of the propulsion system.

▼ Detonation cycles are identified as an efficient alternative to the Brayton cycles used in power and propulsion applications. Rotating Detonation Engine (
RDE) operating on a detonation cycle works by compressing the working fluid across a detonation wave, thereby reducing the number of compressor stages required in the thermodynamic cycle. Numerical analyses of RDEs are flexible in understanding the flow field within the
RDE, however, three-dimensional analyses are expensive due to the differences in time-scale required to resolve the combustion process and flow-field. The alternate two-dimensional analyses are generally modeled with perfectly premixed fuel injection and do not capture the effects of improper mixing arising due to discrete injection of fuel and oxidizer into the chamber. To model realistic injection in a 2-D analysis, the current work uses an approach in which, a Probability Density Function (PDF) of the fuel mass fraction at the chamber inlet is extracted from a 3-D, cold-flow simulation and is used as an inlet boundary condition for fuel mass fraction in the 2-D analysis. The 2-D simulation requires only 0.4% of the CPU hours for one revolution of the detonation compared to an equivalent 3-D simulation. Using this method, a perfectly premixed
RDE is comparing with a non-premixed case. The performance is found to vary between the two cases. The mean detonation velocities, time-averaged static pressure profiles are found to be similar between the two cases, while the local detonation velocities and peak pressure values vary in the non-premixed case due to local pockets fuel rich/lean mixtures. The mean detonation cell sizes are similar, but the distribution in the non-premixed case is closer due to stronger shock structures. An analytical method is used to check the effects of fuel-product stratification and heat loss from the
RDE and these effects adversely affect the local detonation velocity. Overall, this method of modeling captures the complex physics in an
RDE with the advantage of reduced computational cost and therefore can be used for design and diagnostic purposes.

▼ Small RNAs are important transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Many classes of small RNAs have been discovered, each carrying out specialized functions. siRNAs and miRNAs are best studies. siRNAs function in the process of RNAi and are thought to defend the genome against molecular parasites. They have become widely used tools in biomedical research. miRNAs are abundant and conserved; they form a class of endogenous small RNAs that fine-tunes gene expression. Most, if not all, small RNAs function through association with members of the Argonaute protein family. This thesis focuses on the function of small RNAs and Argonaute proteins in RNAi and the miRNA pathway. To understand the role of miRNAs in development, we aimed to catalogue the zebrafish miRNAs and analyze their expression. By sequencing miRNA libraries from 5-day-old zebrafish larvae and adult zebrafish brain, we found 139 known and 66 new miRNAs. We analyzed the temporal and spatial expression patterns of 67 miRNAs by whole mount in situ hybridization and northern blot analysis. Most miRNAs are expressed during later stages of development, often in a tissue specific manner. Most newly discovered miRNAs have low expression levels and are less conserved in other vertebrate species. We also analyzed the connection between the miRNAs and Argonaute proteins in C. elegans. The Argonaute proteins required for the miRNA pathway are ALG-1 and ALG-2. We used massively parallel sequencing to analyze the spectrum of small RNAs associated with ALG-1. We found that this protein almost exclusively binds to miRNAs. In addition to 84 known miRNAs, we found ten novel miRNAs. RNAi is an amplified process in C. elegans. In the amplification step, RNA-directed RNA polymerases (RdRPs) produce secondary siRNAs, which we cloned from transgenic lines expressing a single primary siRNA. We found that RdRPs perform unprimed RNA synthesis to generate secondary siRNAs, and that mRNAs which are not cleaved by the primary siRNA-Argonaute complex can be used as substrates. Secondary siRNAs are only of antisense polarity, carry 5' di- or triphosphates, and are only in the minority associated with RDE-1, the primary siRNA-binding Argonaute protein. Therefore, secondary siRNAs represent a distinct class of small RNAs. siRNAs and miRNAs are both processed from dsRNA-precursors by the dsRNase DCR-1. We investigated how RNAi and the miRNA pathway are mechanistically separated. We showed that precursors of small RNAs contain structural features that direct the small RNAs into the RNAi or the miRNA pathway. Small RNAs expressed from hairpin precursors with a fully matching stem are recognized as siRNAs and bound by RDE-1. A one- to three-nucleotide mismatch at various positions in the stem of the precursor directs the small RNAs into the miRNA pathway, as these small RNAs are in majority bound to ALG-1. The Argonaute proteins to which the small RNAs are bound determine the silencing mode, and no functional overlap between RDE-1 and ALG-1 was detected. We also…

▼ Radial propellant injection in the annular combustion chamber of a rotating detonation engine (
RDE), done in a manner to promote maximum size scale of vortices, has proven to be effective for gaseous propellants. Experiments with an
RDE having a 154-mm-diameter annular combustion chamber have explored the dependence of detonation zone location on propellant mass flux using gaseous methane and oxygen. Computational fluid dynamic simulations of the non-reacting flows of these experiments estimate that the degree of propellant mixedness at the leading edge of the detonation zone must be between approximately 0.5 and 1.5 standard deviations from stoichiometric. This computational tool was also used to examine the mixing of gases that were radially injected into a smaller
RDE having a 76-mm-diameter annular combustor. The smaller
RDE is designed for parametric studies of injector configurations, which may or may not be configured for radial injection. The results of this study indicate that staggered radial injectors lead to more rapid mixing compared to impinging radial injectors in annular ducts and that decreasing mass flux reduces the mixing length.

▼ RNA interference (RNAi) is a homology-based and antisense small RNA-dependent gene silencing mechanism found in most eukaryotes. This dissertation describes identification and characterization of three novel RNAi pathway components in nematode Caenorhabditis elegans:
rde-10,
rde-11 and
rde-12. We demonstrated that they are required for targeted mRNA degradation and the subsequent secondary siRNA biogenesis. The molecular mechanisms for targeted mRNA degradation in C. elegans undergoing RNA interference (RNAi) are not fully understood. Using a combination of genetic, proteomic and biochemical approaches, we have identified a divergent
RDE-10/
RDE-11 complex that is required for RNAi in C. elegans. Genetic analysis indicates that the
RDE-10/
RDE-11 complex acts in parallel to nuclear RNAi. Association of the complex with target mRNA is dependent on
RDE-1 but not RRF-1, suggesting that target mRNA recognition depends on primary but not secondary short interfering RNA (siRNA). Furthermore,
RDE-11 is required for mRNA degradation subsequent to target engagement. Results of deep sequencing analyses reveal a 5-fold decrease in secondary siRNA abundance in
rde-10 and
rde-11 mutant animals, despite normal primary siRNA and micro-RNA biogenesis. Therefore, the
RDE-10/
RDE-11 complex is critical for amplifying the exogenous RNAi response. Our work uncovers an essential output of the RNAi pathway in C. elegans.
RDE-12, a putative DEAD-box RNA helicase, was identified from the same genetic screen. A GFP

▼ RNAi is the process by which double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific mRNA degradation. DsRNA is diced into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) of ~21-23 nt by a complex containing the RNaseIII enzyme DICER. The mature siRNAs are subsequently bound by Argonaute proteins and incorporated into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which cleaves homologous mRNAs. This process is involved in viral resistance and transposon silencing. Here we describe the identification of two proteins involved in the siRNA pathway; RRF-2 and RDE-2. The first is an RNA-directed RNA polymerase, the latter is a Caenorhabditae-specific protein, binding to MUT-7. Both RRF-2 and RDE-2 are required for an efficient RNAi response in C. elegans. A process closely related to the RNAi pathway is the microRNA (miRNA) pathway. MiRNAs are transcribed from the genome as long transcripts that can snap-back on themselves (primary miRNA or pri-miRNA) and are processed into ~70 nt stem-loop structures (precursor miRNA or pre-miRNA) by Drosha in the nucleus (Lee et al. 2003). The pre-miRNA serves as a template for Dicer which processes the pre-miRNA into the double-stranded miRNA of ~21 nt. These miRNAs are, like siRNAs, bound by Argonaute proteins and can bind to mRNAs (usually to the 3' UTR), but unlike siRNA that degrade mRNAs, miRNAs primarily inhibit translation. MiRNAs play a role in developmental timing, stress responses and fine-tuning gene-regulation. Here we describe the identification of Pasha (partner of Drosha) in Drosophila and C. elegans. Pasha is an essential protein, that associates with Drosha in the nucleus and is required for processing of pri-miRNAs into pre-miRNAs. We also discuss the role of the two Argonaute proteins, ALG-1 and ALG-2, that function in the miRNA pathway in C. elegans and present data supporting specialized roles for these Argonautes in this pathway. We show that a cluster of miRNAs, mir-35-41, regulates sex-determination in C. elegans. These miRNAs re-enforce decisions at several levels in the sex-determination pathway, that result in hermaphrodite-specific development. One of the targets of mir-35-41 is the fem-2 gene. Finally we discuss the pros and cons of the methods currently used to predict/verify miRNA targets, illustrated by a C. elegans example.

▼ En el pasado, la investigación de los motores de combustión interna se ha centrado en la reducción del combustible y las emisiones, manteniendo constante el rendimiento. Además, en los últimos años la presión está aumentando aún más para los fabricantes de motores. La nueva homologación es un gran desafío, principalmente debido a la introducción de los ciclos de emisiones de conducción reales (
RDE), lo que obligará a homologar los coches en condiciones reales de conducción, más dinámicas y con un amplio rango de condiciones ambientales, donde la altitud ambiente puede llevar a los 1300 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
Hoy en día, los fabricantes tienen diferentes formas de ensayar los motores y los automóviles en condiciones de altitud. Pruebas en altitud real, donde el automóvil, los ingenieros y los sistemas de medida y ensayo deben desplazarse a un lugar en altitud durante largos períodos de tiempo. La otra solución es ensayar el automóvil en una cámara hipobárica, donde se puede controlar la presión. Sin embargo, estas cámaras son costosas, difíciles de operar e intensivas en espacio y recursos.
En la presente tesis, se desarrolla un simulador de altitud, que presentará otra alternativa para el ensayo de motores en altitud. En este simulador de altitud, el motor está a presión ambiente y solo sus conductos de admisión y escape están a la altitud del ensayo. En la tesis, se describe el principio de operación del simulador de altitud, sus diferentes elementos y su efecto sobre el rendimiento del simulador de altitud, así como las estrategias de control aplicadas para controlar las diferentes variables y elementos.
Para estudiar el potencial del simulador de altitud, un motor diésel turboalimentado se ha ensayado a diferentes altitudes y su rendimiento y emisiones se han comparado con los obtenidos en una cámara hipobárica. Además, el motor se ha ensayado a diferentes altitudes en ciclos dinámicos y se ha analizado su rendimiento y emisiones, cuyos resultados muestran que la estrategia de control del motor cuando está operando en altitud se centra en la protección de los diferentes elementos sin tener en cuenta las emisiones. Por estas razones, es importante estudiar diferentes estrategias para reducir las emisiones de los motores en altitud.
Finalmente, se han realizado diferentes estudios paramétricos cambiando la geometría de las válvulas del motor y colector de escape para analizar su efecto sobre la temperatura de entrada de los sistemas de postratamiendo y el consumo especifico de combustible, como una forma de reducir el tiempo que tardan dichos sistemas en alcanzar la temperatura objetivo con mayor eficiencia de trabajo.; In the last decades, the internal combustion engines research has been focused in the reduction of the fuel consumption and emissions while keeping constant the performance. Besides, in the last years the pressure is increasing even more to the engine manufacturers. The new homologation is a big challenge, mainly because of the introduction of the real driving emissions cycles, which will…

▼ Modern civilization is blamed for aggravating climate change as well as global warming by pumping millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In addition to environmental concerns, the ever-increasing energy demand calls for new generations of power technologies to supply such a rapid rise in energy market. Fuel cells show to be placed at the cornerstone of technology development for the current century, since they could mitigate the environmental concern and meet the escalation in energy need. However, transforming to a future sustainable energy with zero to low CO2 emission needs the development of cheap fuel cells on top of a sustainable hydrogen supply. The current scientists’ and engineers’ challenge is the fabrication of cheap, durable and reliable catalyst materials for electrochemical reduction of oxygen in cathode which is a crucial factor in determining cell’s efficiency. We also looked into this area to find new cathodic materials and compared their performance against commonly mentioned materials in literature. The focus of this contribution is to compare the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) performance of widely literature cited boron-doped graphene materials with the new type of boron-doped samples known as Graphene Organic Framework (GOF). The first chapter deals with the commercialization problem by discussing cell’s internal design, classification and its operation. Subsequently, new alternative suggested substitutes such as metallic nano catalyst, metallic-graphene hybrids, polymeric and new non-metallic graphitic electrocatalysts. The chapter will continue subsequently by introducing GOF material, which are able to form the similar CBO2 structure as the previously literature cited substitutionally boron-doped graphene (BGs) formed, as a novel catalyst for ORR. The second chapter examines the material synthesis and characterization. Three samples of substitutionally boron-doped graphene, identified as BG1, BG2 and BG3, and two types of new porous GOFs materials are synthesised under various preparation strategies. In order to confirm the integration and presence of boron in synthesised samples, variety of characterization and spectroscopic analysis are performed. XRD, TGA and FTIR are exclusively applied to GOF materials since their applications to BG samples will not provide any valuable information. However Raman and XPS characterizations are executed for all samples to determine the degree of G-band shifts (i.e. the extent of doping) and corresponding surface concentration of doped boron. The third chapter provides electrochemical results of prepared materials using conventional CV and RDE techniques in electrochemistry. To complete the discussion, subsequently, the incompetency of Koutchy-Levich (K-L) method and Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE) for determining the true ORR path is explained by reviewing Koutchy-Levich (K-L) method fundamentals. Instead Rotating Ring Disk Electrode (RRDE) technique is considered to estimate the true ORR efficiency of literature materials (BGs) versus…

▼ Rotating Detonation Engines (
RDE) are being explored
as a possible way to getbetter fuel efficiency for turbine engines
than is otherwise possible. The walls of the RDEare subjected to
cyclic thermal and mechanical shock loading at rates of
approximately 3KHz, with gas temperatures as high as 2976 K. This
project performed testing withInconel 625 and 304 stainless steel
coupons in an
RDE outer body to attempt to measurematerial ablation
rates. Significant microstructural changes were observed to
includegrain growth in both alloys, carbide formation and grain
boundary melting in Inconel,and formation of delta ferrite in the
stainless steel. The testing performed in this studywas unable to
generate a wear rate for either material. The Inconel coupons
exhibitedthreshold behavior, with no measurable material loss below
a critical temperature, andnear instantaneous melting and failure
above that temperature. The 304 survived the mostaggressive test
conditions the facility could produce without measurable ablation.
Longerduration testing is required in order to determine a damage
rate for these materials undera detonative
environment.

▼ Les oxydes de manganèse présentent un grand intérêt en raison de leur activité catalytique pour l'ORR (la réaction de réduction de l’oxygène) en milieu alcalin et peuvent être utilisés comme matériaux sans métaux nobles pour la cathode dans les piles à combustible. La présente thèse est consacrée à l’étude de l’activité d'oxydes de manganèse pour l’ORR. Il a été montré que Mn2O3 avec structure bixbyite a une meilleure activité catalytique vers l'ORR en milieu alcalin que les autres oxydes de manganèse étudiés. L'activité spécifique de Mn2O3 est seulement 4 fois inférieure à celle de Pt à une surtension de 0.3 V (ERH). Le lien entre la structure des oxydes de Mn et l'activité ORR est identifié: l'activité spécifique augmente exponentiellement avec le potentiel du couple redox Mn(III)/Mn(IV) de surface. Pour assurer l'activité électrocatalytique élevée de Mn2O3, il est nécessaire d'ajouter du carbone à la composition d'électrode, ainsi que de garder un potentiel supérieur à 0.7 V (ERH).
Manganese oxides are of great interest due to their catalytic activity towards the ORR (the oxygen reduction reaction) in alkaline media and can be used as noble metal-free materials for the cathode in liquid and polymer electrolyte alkaline fuel cells. The present thesis is devoted to the investigation of the ORR activity of manganese oxides. It was shown that Mn2O3 with bixbyite structure has a better catalytic activity toward the ORR in alkaline media than other investigated manganese oxide, the surface activity of Mn2O3 is only 4 times lower than that of Pt at an overvoltage of 0.3 V (RHE). The link between the structure of Mn oxides and the ORR activity is found: the specific ORR activity exponentially increases with the potential of the surface Mn(III)/Mn(IV) red-ox couple. To ensure the high electrocatalytic activity of Mn2O3, it is necessary to add carbon to the electrode composition, as well as to keep potential above 0.7 V (RHE).

▼ The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 1.0 mol/L KOH solutions catalyzed by FeTMPP/C and CoTMPP/C was investigated in absence and presence of BH4- anions with concentrations varying from 10-7 to 1.0 mol/L. Similar cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode experiments have been also performed the commercial E-TEK Pt/C electrocatalysts. In absence of BH4- anions, the ORR proceeds via a direct 4 electron pathway on FeTMPP/C and Pt/C and via a peroxide pathway involving (2-electron process) on CoTMPP/C and Au/C catalysts. In addition, Pt/C presented the most positive onset potential for the reaction. In presence of BH4- anions, a drastic loss in the catalytic activity of the Pt/C electrode was observed, even for concentrations as low as 10-7 mol/L. The effect of temperature on the ORR was studied and from 20C up to 60C the diffusion limited current densities remained nearly constants. At 80C, a decrease in the current of density was observed, probably due to a decrease in the oxygen concentration and viscosity of the solution. Arrhenius plots [ln (k) vs. T-1] were used to evaluate the activations energy (Ea) of the ORR in absence of borohydride and resulted in 47.6 kJ/mol and 50.3 kJ/mol for Pt/C and FeTMPP/C, respectively. In presence of borohydride in solution, the Ea value for Pt/C showed a pronounced decrease to 38.7 kJ/mol, due to borohydride oxidation as a parallel reaction, while for FeTMPP/C the value calculate was 52.7 kJ/mol, i.e., remained practically constant. Such results indicates that FeTMPP is an efficient catalyst for ORR in alkaline solutions and tolerant to BH4 anions.
A reação de redução de oxigênio (RRO) em solução KOH 1,0 mol/L catalisada por FeTMPP/C e CoTMPP/C foi investigada na ausência e presença de anions BH4- com concentrações variando de 10-7 a 1 mol/L. Experimentos similares com voltametria cíclica e eletrodo disco-anel e disco rotatório foram feitos em eletrocatalisadores Pt/C comercial da E-TEK e Au/C. Na ausência de BH4-, a RRO se processa via mecanismo 4 elétrons para eletrodos FeTMPP/C e Pt/C e via peróxido, ou seja, 2 elétrons sobre eletrodos CoTMPP/C e Au/C. Diante disto, o eletrodo Pt/C apresenta melhor potencial para a reação. Na presença de anions BH4-, foi observada uma drástica perda na atividade catalítica do eletrodo Pt/C até mesmo em baixas concentrações (10-7 mol/L). O efeito da temperatura sobre a RRO foi estudado na faixa de 20C a 60C manteve-se constante em relação às densidades de corrente. A 80C foi observada uma diminuição na densidade de corrente, muito provavelmente, devido à diminuição na concentração de oxigênio e a viscosidade da solução. Foi usada a relação de Arrhenius (ln K vs. T-1) para o calculo da energia de ativação da RRO na ausência de boroidreto resultando em 47.6 kJ/mol e 50.3 kJ/mol para Pt/C e FeTMPP/C, respectivamente. Na presença de boroidreto em solução, a energia de ativação da Pt/C mostrou uma diminuição considerável, devido a reação de oxidação dos anions BH4- acorrer paralelamente, enquanto que para o eletrodo FeTMPP/C aumentou para 52.7…

▼ Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts are of crucial importance in developing low- and medium-temperature fuel cells, as PEMFCs (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells), from which sizeable energy saving and reduction of greenhouse gas emission are expected in comparison with the use of coal and oil based fuels in thermal engines. The same electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction takes place in oxygen depolarized cathodes (ODC) in chlor-alkali electrolysis, replacing the conventional hydrogen evolving cathode, gaining about 30% energy consumption reduction in the overall process. At present carbon-supported Pt and Pt-rich alloys are best credited to the ORR purpose. However, Pt-based catalysts are not free from certain drawbacks, such as oxide formation and Pt particle coarsening through Ostwald ripening, that decrease the overall cell energy conversion efficiency. Furthermore, attendant problems concerning natural availability, geographic distribution and cost of platinum, render platinum supply strategic and fuel cells hardly scalable to mass production. At present, projections on platinum usage for PEMFCs are estimated at ~15 ton y-1 in addition to the current ones, at a cost of ~40 $ g-1.
Therefore, non-precious metal catalysts are actively searched for, such as to meet already established operational benchmarks for conventional platinum PEMFC vehicular requirements (0.5 W cm-2; 5500 h durability) with the additional target of significant cost reduction.
Several papers on non-precious ORR catalysts have been published after a first report by Jasinski in 1964 demonstrating the ORR activity of metal substitutes-phthalocyanines. Then, research on metal-nitrogen macrocycles significantly expanded, leading to the picture that ORR catalytic activity can be related to N4-Me and N2-Me moieties. However, for precursors cost and unsatisfactory lifetime performance, research was steered toward more simple nitrogen-containing reactants and preparation procedures. Significant steps in this direction were obtained by Dodelet et al. who demonstrated that ORR overpotentials almost linearly decrease with increasing nitrogen content in carbon. Positive results were obtained on a series of samples prepared by high temperature treatment of carbon precursors in NH3/H2/N2 mixtures; doping of these modified carbons with iron rather than cobalt salts was shown to be preferable for better efficiency in oxygen reduction, even though still lower than that of platinum. Further improvements both in terms of incipient ORR potentials and currents were obtained by Maruyama et al. using carbons from hemoglobin and adenine-glucose pyrolysis in the presence of added Fe(II) and Cu(II)/Fe(II) mixtures, respectively. The ORR promoting role of nitrogen in carbon was independently demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. Indeed, it was found that substitutional nitrogen at a few, specific, peripheral positions of graphene layers in well-ordered carbon nanostructures is in itself able to promote ORR activity even in the absence of…

▼ The research described in this thesis aims at improving the evaluation of the radiaoctive aerosol release from different Radiological Dispersion Events (
RDE's), such as accidents and sabotage involving radioactive and nuclear materials. These studies help in a better assessment of the source term as input for atmospheric dispersion predictions, or eventually improve merit of such calculations. To study and analyse the aerosol release from these events a new experimental set-up was developed (RADES). This has been used to produce aerosols from experiments that simulate
RDE's in controlled laboratory conditions and collect them for post-analyses. By coupling these results with the study of the gaseous aerosols precursor and of their interactions, this research provides a basic understanding of the aerosol formation processes for such events.

▼ Hydrogen is considered a key element in solving the upcoming energy crisis, it is not the primary fuel source but an 'energy carrier' similar to electricity and has to be produced using some other hydrogen rich source. Thermochemical water decomposition is a promising alternative to steam-methane reforming and electrolytic water splitting for a sustainable method of large-scale hydrogen production. The Copper-Chlorine thermochemical cycle is one of prime contenders among all the other thermochemical cycles being studied because of its low energy requirements compared to others and mild operating conditions, therefore making it available to be readily integrated to the available nuclear reactors or solar energy installations.

▼ PDE's (Pulse Detonation Engines) and
RDE's (Rotating
Detonation Engines) utilize a shock coupled burning wave to combust
fuel and oxidizer or air at a near constant volume. This results in
great potential to increase engine cycle efficiency utilizing
pressure gain. In PDE's, the detonation wave runs along the
interior of a tube, and pressurized gas is then expelled during a
purge and refill process. Another detonation wave is initiated, in
quick succession, resulting in periodic pulsed combustion. The
RDE,
in contrast, initiates a continuous detonation process in an
azimuthal direction in an annular or cylindrical chamber, nearly
perpendicular to the flow of oxidizer and fuel, with the detonation
wave consuming incoming mixture before expelling the compressed
exhaust. Work needs to be done to efficiently utilize detonations
for propulsion. There is much to be gained by testing a variety of
geometries to reduce pressure losses, and to aid in quick
refilling. Computational Fluid Dynamics or CFD has the ability to
aid in bringing the benefits of understanding the fluid dynamics of
many flow geometries with minimal hardware. CFD has the ability to
compare designs with precisely controlled boundary conditions. Two
computational studies and two related experimental studies
demonstrate how low cost simulations can effectively direct and
inform experimental designs.First, a pulse detonation engine model
in CFD is used in various configurations, targeting the most
effective way to self-aspirate a PDE. It attempts to direct design
so that a PDE quickly self-purges, allowing for higher frequency
use of the PDE. This is useful to a PDE system, as the thrust to
weight ratio is highly influenced by pulse frequency. The best
design, utilizing an aerovalve and ejector is tested and refined in
an experimental study, with tests at off-optimal conditions to
demonstrate the same trends as seen in the simulation set. [Portion

▼ Small RNAs are important transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Many classes of small RNAs have been discovered, each carrying out specialized functions. siRNAs and miRNAs are best studies. siRNAs function in the process of RNAi and are thought to defend the genome against molecular parasites. They have become widely used tools in biomedical research. miRNAs are abundant and conserved; they form a class of endogenous small RNAs that fine-tunes gene expression. Most, if not all, small RNAs function through association with members of the Argonaute protein family. This thesis focuses on the function of small RNAs and Argonaute proteins in RNAi and the miRNA pathway. To understand the role of miRNAs in development, we aimed to catalogue the zebrafish miRNAs and analyze their expression. By sequencing miRNA libraries from 5-day-old zebrafish larvae and adult zebrafish brain, we found 139 known and 66 new miRNAs. We analyzed the temporal and spatial expression patterns of 67 miRNAs by whole mount in situ hybridization and northern blot analysis. Most miRNAs are expressed during later stages of development, often in a tissue specific manner. Most newly discovered miRNAs have low expression levels and are less conserved in other vertebrate species. We also analyzed the connection between the miRNAs and Argonaute proteins in C. elegans. The Argonaute proteins required for the miRNA pathway are ALG-1 and ALG-2. We used massively parallel sequencing to analyze the spectrum of small RNAs associated with ALG-1. We found that this protein almost exclusively binds to miRNAs. In addition to 84 known miRNAs, we found ten novel miRNAs. RNAi is an amplified process in C. elegans. In the amplification step, RNA-directed RNA polymerases (RdRPs) produce secondary siRNAs, which we cloned from transgenic lines expressing a single primary siRNA. We found that RdRPs perform unprimed RNA synthesis to generate secondary siRNAs, and that mRNAs which are not cleaved by the primary siRNA-Argonaute complex can be used as substrates. Secondary siRNAs are only of antisense polarity, carry 5' di- or triphosphates, and are only in the minority associated with RDE-1, the primary siRNA-binding Argonaute protein. Therefore, secondary siRNAs represent a distinct class of small RNAs. siRNAs and miRNAs are both processed from dsRNA-precursors by the dsRNase DCR-1. We investigated how RNAi and the miRNA pathway are mechanistically separated. We showed that precursors of small RNAs contain structural features that direct the small RNAs into the RNAi or the miRNA pathway. Small RNAs expressed from hairpin precursors with a fully matching stem are recognized as siRNAs and bound by RDE-1. A one- to three-nucleotide mismatch at various positions in the stem of the precursor directs the small RNAs into the miRNA pathway, as these small RNAs are in majority bound to ALG-1. The Argonaute proteins to which the small RNAs are bound determine the silencing mode, and no functional overlap between RDE-1 and ALG-1 was detected. We also…

▼ Notre étude vise à améliorer la compréhension des modes de rotation continue d’une détonation. Elle porte sur leur caractérisation dans une chambre annulaire de section,normale à son axe de révolution, constante ou linéairement croissante. Le principe de fonctionnement repose sur l’injection continue de gaz frais devant le front de détonation pour renouveler la couche réactive et entretenir sa propagation. Ce travail trouve son application dans le développement de systèmes propulsifs utilisant la détonation rotative comme mode de combustion (Rotating Detonation Engine, RDE). Nous avons conçu et réalisé un banc expérimental dont l’élément principal est une chambre annulaire de diamètre intérieur 50 mm, de longueur 90 mm et d’épaisseur 5 ou 10 mm. Elle peut être équipée de noyaux cylindrique ou conique, de longueurs comprises entre 12 mm et 90mm et, pour les cônes, de demi-angles au sommet compris entre 0± et 14.6±. Elle est alimentée par des injections séparées de carburant, l’éthylène, et d’oxydant, formé ici par un mélange d’oxygène et d’azote. Plusieurs concentrations d’azote ont été considérées de manière à étudier plusieurs détonabilités de mélange. La caractérisation des régimes de détonation, de leurs célérités et de leurs pressions, est fondée sur l’analyse de signaux de capteurs de pression dynamiques et sur des visualisations par caméras ultrarapides. Nos résultats expérimentaux détaillent la phase d’amorçage, les modes de combustion et leur stabilité. L’étude paramétrique, réalisée pour plusieurs détonabilités, débits massiques et géométries internes de la chambre, met en évidence que, si les deux premiers paramètres n’ont pas d’effet notable sur les célérités et les pressions des modes de détonation,la géométrie interne de la chambre joue, elle, un rôle majeur dans l’amélioration de ces caractéristiques, en particulier la diminution de la longueur du noyau et l’augmentation de sa conicité (de son demi-angle au sommet). Nous avons réalisé une étude numérique afin d’expliquer les déficits mesurés de célérité et de pression. Elle met en avant la dégradation des propriétés théoriques de détonation résultant de la dilution et du réchauffement des réactifs par les produits de détonation. Nous proposons également un calcul du rendement thermodynamique qui, à la différence de modélisations antérieures, prend en compte la structure d’une détonation rotative. Nous décrivons aussi un calcul de hauteur de front de détonation pour les modes et géométries de chambre considérés dans cette thèse. Notre étude démontre ainsi l’intérêt de futures recherches sur la géométrie interne des chambres annulaires à détonation rotative et sur la prise en compte des phénomènes à l’origine des pertes d’efficacité.

The functioning principle is based on the continuous injection of fresh reactive gases so as to regenerate a reactive layer…

▼ Det här projektet handlar om att utveckla en metod för real driving emission (RDE). RDE är ett komplement till Worldwide Light Duty Test Procedure (WLTP) som kommer att ersätta New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Dessa cykler och metoder används för att mäta personbilars avgaser. Huvudanledningen till varför NEDC ska bytas ut är för att körcyklerna inte längre är realistiska och reflekterar inte hur en bil presterar egentligen. Detta har lett till att bilar har högre bränsleförbrukning och högre avgasutsläpp när dom körs i trafiken jämfört med resultaten från NEDC.Metoden utvecklades genom hänvisningar till den officiella WLTP rapporten. Tillsammans med Vehicle Emission gruppen från AVL fastställdes en komplett steg för steg metod.Utrustningen som användes förseddes av AVL och flera tester av varje steg av metoden genomfördes för att förfina metoden så mycket som möjligt. Bilen som användes var en SAAB 9-5 2.0l bensin.Resultaten visade att både bilen och testet inte mötte kriterierna för RDE och godkändes inte av programmet som användes för att utvärdera testet. Detta var delvis för att kriterierna för RDE är strikta och delvis för att ingen pre och post test genomfördes eftersom det tar mycket tid för att dom testerna ska bli godkända.I överlag ger WLTP och RDE potentiella bilköpare en bättre detaljerad sammanfattning av hur bra bilen presterar i trafiken jämfört med NEDC.
This project is about developing a method for real driving emission (RDE). RDE is a complement to Worldwide Light Duty Test Procedure (WLTP) which will replace the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). These cycles and procedures are used for measuring emissions for light duty vehicles. The main reason why NEDC is being replaced is because the driving cycles does not reflect how vehicles are normally driven. This has resulted in vehicles having higher fuel consumption and emitting more poisonous gases when driven on actual roads compared to the results from the NEDC.The method was developed by referring to the laws of the official WLTP report written by EU. Together with the Vehicle Emissions team at AVL a complete step by step method was established.All the equipment and instruments were provided by AVL and several tests of each step of the method was made to perfect the method as much as possible. The vehicle that was used was a 2005 SAAB 9-5 2.0l petrol.The results displayed that the car and the test did not meet the criteria for RDE and was not passed by the evaluating software. This was partly because the driving criteria for RDE are strict and can be difficult to achieve and partly because no pre and post test was made since it can take several tries before those tests are passed.Overall, WLTP and RDE give buyers a more detailed and better conclusion of how a car performs on the road compared to NEDC.

▼ La cinétique lente de la réduction de l’oxygène (ORR) est en grande partie responsable de la perte d’énergie de nombreux systèmes de conversion tels que les piles à combustible. Parmi les possibles catalyseurs de l’ORR, les oxydes de type pérovskite sont des candidats prometteurs en milieu alcalin. La présente thèse est consacrée à l’étude de l’activité, du mécanisme et de la stabilité de pérovskites à base de Co et Mn pour l’ORR. Grâce aux techniques d’électrode tournante à disque et disque-anneau (R(R)DE), les études de l’ORR et des transformations d’HO2- sur les couches minces de pérovskite/carbone dans une solution de NaOH ont montré qu’O2 est réduit en OH- via un mécanisme « en série » avec formation d’HO2- intermédiaire. Pour des quantités d’oxyde suffisantes, HO2- est ensuite réduit, ce qui résulte en un mécanisme apparent de 4 électrons. Dans ces électrodes, le carbone joue un double rôle. Il augmente l’activité électrocatalytique en améliorant le contact électrique et il est impliqué dans le mécanisme de l’ORR en catalysant la réduction d’O2 en HO2-, surtout pour les pérovskites à base de cobalt qui sont considérablement moins actives que celles à base de Mn. Néanmoins, l’électrocatalyse de l’ORR semble dégrader les sites actifs des pérovskites.
The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is largely responsible for the energy losses in energy conversion systems such as fuel cells. Among possible inexpensive catalysts for the ORR, perovskite oxides are promising electrocatalysts in alkaline media. The present thesis is devoted to the investigation of the ORR activity, mechanism and stability of some Co and Mn-based perovskites. The rotating (ring) disk electrode (R(R)DE) studies of the ORR and the HO2- transformations on perovskite/carbon thin layers in NaOH electrolyte prove that O2 is reduced to OH- via a “series” pathway with the HO2- intermediate. For high oxide loadings, the formed HO2- species are further reduced to give a global 4 electron pathway. In these electrodes, carbon plays a dual role. It increases the electrocatalytic activity by improving the electrical contact and it is involved in the ORR mechanism by catalyzing the reduction of O2 into HO2-, especially for Co-based perovskites which display lower reaction rates than Mn-based perovskites.

▼ Les travaux de ma thèse s'articulent en trois parties distinctes.Dans la première partie j'étudie les mesures de Malliavin-Shavguldize sur les difféomorphismes du cercle et de l'intervalle. Il s'agit de mesures de type « Haar » pour ces groupes de dimension infinie : elles furent introduites il a une vingtaine d'années pour permettre une étude de leur théorie des représentations. Un premier chapitre est dédié à recueillir les résultats présents dans la littérature et et les représenter dans une forme plus étendue, avec un regard particulier sur les propriétés de quasi-invariance de ces mesures. Ensuite j'étudie de problèmes de nature plus dynamique : quelle est la dynamique qu'on doit s'attendre d'un difféomorphisme choisi uniformément par rapport à une mesure de Malliavin-Shavguldize ? Je démontre en particulier qu'il y a une forte présence des difféomorphismes de type Morse-Smale.La partie suivante vient de mon premier travail publié, obtenu en collaboration avec Andrés Navas. Inspirés d'un théorème récent de Avila et Kocsard sur l'unicité des distributions invariantes par un difféomorphisme lisse minimal du cercle, nous analysons le même problème en régularité faible, avec des argument plus géométriques.La dernière partie est constituée des résultats récemment obtenus avec Mikhail Khristoforov et Victor Kleptsyn. Nous abordons les problèmes reliés à la gravité quantique de Liouville en étudiant des espaces auto-similaires qui sont la limite de graphes finis. Nous démontrons qu'il est possible de trouver des distances aléatoires non-triviales sur ces espaces qui sont compatibles avec la structure auto-similaire.
This thesis is divided into three different parts.In the first part, we study the Malliavin-Shavgulidze measure on circle and interval diffeomorphisms. They are Haar-like measures for these infinite-dimensional groups: they were introduced about twenty years ago to help to study their represantation theory. The first chapter collects the results that were obtained in the past years and in some cases we present them under a renewed point of view, with particular attention on quasi-invariance properties for this measures. Then we study some questions of dynamical nature: which is the typical dynamics that we must expect described by a diffeomorphism chosen randomly according to some Malliavin-Shavguldize measure? In particular, we prove that there is a strong presence of Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms.The third chapter comes from the published joint work with Andrés Navas. Inspired by a recent theorem by Avila and Kocsard about the uniqueness of the invariant distribution for a minimal smooth circle diffeomorphism, we analyse the same problem in low regularity, with more geometric arguments.The last part corresponds to the recent results obtained with Mikhail Khristoforov and Victor Kleptsyn. We consider problems in relation with Liouville quantum gravity, by studying self-similar metric spaces which are the limit of finite graphs. We prove that it is possible to find nontrivial random distances on these…

▼ The thesis contains a discussion on the subject of the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) on Pt-alloy nanoparticle catalysts in the Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE) method. An insight in some of the difficulties of this method is given with proper solutions and compensations for these problems. Pt3Co, Au-core Pt3Fe-shell catalysts dispersed on carbon support, as well as the 3M Nanostructured Thin Film (NSTF) catalyst are analyzed and the ORR activities measured. For the Pt3Co catalyst, the particle size effect and the effect of catalyst pretreatment is determined. The significant durability enhancement of the gold-core Pt3Fe-shell catalyst is discussed. A novel pretreatment method for the NSTF catalyst is shown, as well as the significant increase in mass activity for the ORR compared to carbon-supported catalysts. The thesis ends with an insight in the cyclic voltammetry of a Pt (100) single crystal electrodein alkaline media and the effect of the pretreatment of the catalyst.

▼ In the context of this dissertation, the fuel consumption and emissions of many vehicles were measured under various driving conditions and emission and consumption reduction technologies were investigated. The impact of conventional fuel consumption reduction technologies was simulated by modeling a gasoline and diesel vehicle under NEDC, WLTP and CADC driving cycles, using the AVL Cruise platform. The technologies tested include brake energy recuperation, start-stop, vehicle mass reduction, aerodynamic resistance reduction, rolling resistance reduction, gearbox changes and engine efficiency improvements. Each technology has a different impact on each driving cycle, while the overall reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions achieved by combining all technologies was in the range of 12-14%. Concerning pollutant reduction technologies, the possibility of reducing NOx emissions of a Euro 6b diesel vehicle was studied. Initially, the vehicle was tested on the road following the RDE regulation where it emitted 5 times more NOx than the 80 mg/km limit. The vehicle’s engine operation was simulated on a laboratory dyno, where an identical engine was installed. Modifications were made to the exhaust aftertreatment system, including the replacement of the LNT system with an SCR system. The modifications reduced NOx emissions by 90%, achieving compliance with the Euro 6 limits without requiring any additional fuel consumption. The effect of driving conditions on emissions and fuel consumption was then addressed. In particular, three Euro 6 diesel vehicles were tested in the NEDC, WLTP, CADC driving cycles and on the road, on normal RDE-compliant routes and other more dynamic ones. The emissions reduction strategy of the three vehicles seems to be exclusively targeting the NEDC cycle, as at non-NEDC operating conditions the use of anti-pollution systems is minimized. WLTP emissions were closer to the emissions measured under real conditions; however, the engine operating range during the road tests was greater than the range during laboratory tests. In addition, NOx emission levels increase dramatically when driving the vehicle in a more dynamic manner outside the boundaries of the RDE regulation. Finally, on-road emissions measurements were carried out on a fleet of eight vehicles, two diesel, one gasoline, one LPG vehicle, one CNG, one hybrid and two older gasoline vehicles which had been converted to gasoline-LPG dual fuels. No fuel/engine type had low CO2, CO and NOx emissions over the full range of real world driving conditions. However, it is worth mentioning that the older gasoline-LPG vehicles had the worst emission performance, the CNG vehicle had the lowest CO2 emissions and the hybrid had the lowest CO and NOx emissions combined. With regard to conventional vehicle types, diesel vehicles had very high NOx emissions, while gasoline vehicles had extremely high CO emissions under dynamic driving conditions, reaching 35 times the regulatory limits.

▼ In the first of two projects, electrochemical kinetics studies were intended to elucidate the mechanism of hydrogen reduction at a Rh/Cr2O3 (core/shell) reduction catalyst for future development in a water splitting system. Ultramicroelectrode (UME) fabrication, including photodeposition and electrodeposition of Rh and Au, and the reliability of the resulting electrodes were explored. It was determined that rhodium does not bind strongly enough to glassy carbon by these photodeposition techniques to allow for its use on rotating disk electrodes. Epoxy deteriorates under conditions of rhodium photodeposition. Niobium is unfit for exposed electrode surfaces because of its many different oxide states. Gold UME surfaces recede with use into their glass insulation surroundings. And 25 μm thick gold and rhodium wires disintegrate in flames too quickly to allow for their use in traditional UME construction.
In the second project, flash-photolysis and time-resolved photolysis studies were intended to illuminate the kinetics of charge transfer for the reduction half of a water splitting system involving hexaniobate nanoscrolls, nanoparticulate Pt reduction catalysts, and Ru(bpy)2(4,4’-(PO3H2)2bpy)2+ dye. Solid state synthesis and exfoliation techniques were used to produce the nanoscrolls, and XRD and TEM were used to confirm the identity of the product and success of Pt photodeposition.
