Chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric protonation reactions of vinylheteroaryls
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-15) - ThesisThis thesis describes investigations into the chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed aza-Michael addition-asymmetric protonation between arylamines and various α-substituted vinylheterocycles. Initially, research focused on ... -
MOF-based membranes for challenging gas separations
(2024-06-13) - ThesisMetal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have been extensively studied as adsorbents for carbon capture applications over past decades. However, when it comes to MOF-based membranes for CO₂ separation, factors that determine ... -
Studies of lithium-silicon negative electrode materials for batteries
(2024-06-13) - ThesisSilicon is a promising negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries because of its high specific capacity which is ten times higher than graphite. Lithium silicides are also the negative electrode material for ... -
Clean up of bleed air contamination
(University of St Andrews, 2020-07-29) - ThesisTo compensate for the low temperature and pressure at high altitude, the air provided to the cabin of the aircraft is drawn from the jet engine. This is known as bleed air which provides heat and pressurises the cabin and ...
