Differentiating Defects and Their Influence on Hematite Photoanodes Using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Raman Microscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2022-01-31)A high degree of variability in behavior and performance of hematite as photoanodes for the oxygen evolution reaction signifies a need to improve our understanding of the interplay between defects and photoelectrochemical ... -
Evaluation of mercury stabilization mechanisms by sulfurized biochars determined using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2018-04-05)The application of biochar to treat mercury (Hg) in the environment is being proposed on an increasing basis due to its widespread availability and cost effectiveness. However, the efficiency of Hg removal by biochars is ... -
Probing the Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Transparent Semiconductor Nanowires using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopic Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-16)Control of electron spins in individual magnetically doped semiconductor nanostructures has considerable potential for quantum information processing and storage. The manipulations of dilute magnetic interactions have ... -
Stabilization of Mercury in River Water and Sediment Using Biochars
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-29)Mercury (Hg) is a common contaminant in air, oceans, lakes, rivers, soils, and sediments as elemental, inorganic and organic forms. Organic Hg (e.g., methylmercury (MeHg)), which is much more toxic than other forms and can ...
