SUMMARY:Chem 278 Prof. Duan Research Group Seminar
DESCRIPTION:“Ultrathin Wavy Nanowires as Highly Efficient Anode Electrocatalysts for Fuel Cell Application” \nAbstract: Direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) are of tremendous interests for their higher volumetric energy density\, safer storage\, transport\, and lower cost vs. hydrogen. However\, the anode alcohol oxidation reactions are less kinetically favorable and require noble metal based electrocatalysts\, which are costly and limits the widespread adoption. Therefore\, an important challenge is to develop highly efficient electrocatalysts with high mass activity (MA) to lower the required amount of noble metal and the overall cost. Ultrathin wavy nanowires represent a class of attractive electrocatalysts with high specific surface area\, rich catalytic hotspots and excellent charge transport. In this talk\, I will discuss my effort in the design\, synthesis and characterizations of the ultrathin Rh wavy nanowires and ultrathin alloy Pt3Ag wavy nanowires as highly effective electrocatalysts for the alcohol oxidation reactions\, by considering the most fundamental design criteria to simultaneously improve the specific activity (SA) and the electrochemical active surface area (ECSA). In addition\, I will briefly discuss my ongoing effort to extend this system to Rh/Ni(OH)2 wavy nanowires and high entropy alloy wavy nanowires for the oxidation reactions of alcohols and hydrazine.

SUMMARY:Chem 218 Student Exit Seminar: Michael LeClaire
DESCRIPTION:“Biophysical Characterization of Cancer-Derived Cells and Extracellular Vesicles” \nABSTRACT: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a class of lipid bilayer enclosed particles secreted by most mammalian cells\, and are found ubiquitously in body fluids such as plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. EVs contain molecular signatures of their secreting host cells\, and are involved in long-range intercellular communication and transfer of biomolecular cargo. There is significant potential for EVs to be used as biomarkers for specific cancers\, and their involvement in long-range intercellular communication holds promise for their use as targeted drug delivery vehicles. However\, EVs’ nanoscale size and heterogeneity (30-1000 nm) and the choice of isolation methods confound the structural\, biophysical\, and surface biochemical analysis of single vesicles. Here\, we focus on the characterization of single small extracellular vesicle (sEV) (40-160 nm) structural-mechanical properties by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and other methods. We examined the impact of isolation methods on the biophysical heterogeneity of single sEVs\, including their nanoscale morphology and the presence of co-isolates. We also investigated the structural-mechanical properties of breast cancer cell line-derived sEVs and their secreting cells\, finding that breast-cancer derived sEVs reflect the biomechanical signature of the cancer cells that secrete them\, and identify similar trends in patient plasma derived EV like particles. Finally\, we demonstrated the applicability of AFM-based single sEV analysis as an efficient tool to quantify the abundance\, structure\, and biomechanical properties of sEVs from limited volume patient cerebrospinal fluid. Overall\, this work advances the understanding of single sEV structural-mechanical properties and provides a framework to assess sEV quality and purity.
