Abstract Details

2024, Bachelor of Science (BS), Ohio University, Chemistry.
Studying the topography and composition of materials’ surfaces can give important insight into the chemical properties of that surface. Surface studies can be done both computationally or experimentally, but together they have a synergistic effect on the information learned and the research efficiency. This study aims to utilize both computational and experimental techniques to understand molecular systems that are used across different industries. The computational technique used primarily is density functional theory (DFT) and the experimental techniques for surface characterization are atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This study is characterizing surfaces for a sulfapyridine molecularly imprinted polymer and Li-metal batteries.
