Selective Hydro-deoxygenation of Organic Compounds
The Problem:
While demand for renewable energy sources has grown, the adoption rate of these energy sources is low because many are more difficult to harvest/convert to useful energy than fossil fuel sources. Biofuel is an effective and environmentally friendly source of energy. Currently, biofuel is created from the by-products of other processes,...

Catalyst to Convert Carbon Dioxide to Carbon Monoxide
The Problem:
Photocatalysis of carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO) is shown to not be very selective in current studies. Due to the unreactive nature of CO2, the compound requires large amounts of energy to break its chemical bonds, leading to a limited chemical use of CO2 in renewable energy processes. Solar or photoelectric powered catalytic...

Method for Comprehensive Extraction of Cyclopeptide Toxins and Other Metabolites
The Problem:
Current extraction techniques are used to obtain cyclopeptides from the amanita phalloides mushroom to be examined for its cancer treating potential. However, the current extraction process is not exhaustive (as it does not recover all of the toxins containing a-amanitin), and the amount extracted has to be approximated. Additionally,...

Composite Materials and Methods of Making and Use Thereof
The Problem:
Current nanorod materials on the market have relatively bad thermal stability, particularly with higher temperature applications. A high oxygen storage capacity (OSC) is hard to achieve and maintain at the 500 degrees Celsius threshold, yet CeO2 nanorods are only stable up to 450 degrees Celsius. It is apparent there is a temperature disconnect...

Synthesis of Linear Polyethyleneimine by Living Anionic Polymerizations
The Problem:
Polyethyleneimine (PEI) is a unique polymer that has a wide range of commercial and research applications. It is most commonly formed by the cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) method, which creates a highly branched polymeric structure. The high degree of branching is the result of secondary amines along an existing PEI chain...

Cell Membrane Coated Nanoparticles and Assays for Identification of Transmembrane Protein-binding Compounds
The Problem:
Current techniques of discovering new potential drug leads take weeks or even months to identify potential hits. This process is slow when a field such as drugs and pharmaceuticals needs solutions quickly. Because discovering potential drug leads takes a substantial amount of time, this limits the capacity of the testing field.
The Solution:
The...

Mixed Metal Double Salt Ionic Liquids with Tunable Acidity
The Problem:
Catalysts are used throughout many industries and can be extremely expensive. In the petrochemical refining industry, many different catalysts are utilized, however, they each have substantial drawbacks. AlCl3 is used, but it requires expensive deacidification in the process. HF is used, but it is extremely volatile, corrosive, toxic,...
