One of the most significant developments in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (PC-HER) is the application of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). In this PhD thesis, the influences of solar-heat on PC-HER were investigated with different nanomaterials as photocatalysts. Meanwhile, novel g-C3N4 based nanostructures, including NiO quantum dots decorated g-C3N4, single-atom Ag modified g-C3N4, and K doped g-C3N4/g-C3N4 van der Waals type II junctions, were developed, applied, and carefully studied in PC-HER processes.

Stability of biological substances based on proteins, including vaccines, antibodies, and enzymes, is critically linked to its thermal environment. Temperature stress over time results in protein denaturation. Denaturation is a loss of structure and function in proteins. Their storage and distribution therefore relies on a “cold chain” of continuous refrigeration, which is costly and not always effective in medical and biological applications.

Metallic glasses have many interesting properties worth investigating, such as high corrosion resistance or high mechanical strength. However, metallic glasses are metastable and will therefore crystallise if heated above the crystallisation temperature.

Abstract:
Nanocrystalline bainite, commonly known as “superbainite”, is a novel class of steel that utilises careful alloy design to reduce the bainite transformation temperature to below 300℃. This results in grains that are tens of nanometres in width, which make steel strong and tough. The structure can be produced in large volumes without the need for rapid cooling or severe deformation. The presence of austenite in nanocrystalline bainite is largely responsible for the toughness. Unfortunately, the austenite is metastable and previous work has shown that it decomposes into cementite and ferrite upo

The bond dissociation energy (BDE) of the labile C-O bond of the alkoxyamine initiators was found to be ca. 28 kcal/mol and is dependent on the resulting carbon centered radical produced upon thermal decomposition.
