Synthesis of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides from Solid-Phase Precursors
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)Interest in telluride tranisition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has until very recently, lagged far behind that of more common TMDs such as MoS2. There are a number of potential reasons for this, such as these materials not ... -
Molecular Engineering of Porphyrins as Organocatalysts and Methods Development for New Highly Substituted Porphyrins
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)Chapter 1 introduces the N–H…X binding motif in tetrapyrroles, which forms the basis of the research carried out on organocatalytically active porphyrins in Chapters 3.1–3.3. Specifically, the role of porphyrin(oid) ligands ... -
Novel Ir(III)-based Triplet Photosensitisers For Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Upconversion
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)Chapter 1 contains introduction to the topic of triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC), including the process of upconversion, the properties of efficient photosensitiser (PS) molecules and the other uses that ... -
The goldilocks electrolyte: examining the performance of iron/nickel oxide thin films as catalysts for electrochemical water splitting in various aqueous NaOH solutions
(2016)A rigorous study of electrodeposited pure and mixed Ni/Fe oxides was performed in three different sodium hydroxide electrolytes with various Fe impurity concentrations (<1 ppb, 5 ppb and 102 ppb). The presence and concentration ... -
Photochemically Triggered Alkylthiol Reactions on Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite
(2011)The surface of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) has been modified using a new photochemically induced grafting reaction. Thiols have been revealed to behave as privileged substrates for this efficient grafting ...
