Dario A. Delgado Aguilar
Research Interests
I have always been fascinated about science, how new insights and accidents have turned out
to be important discoveries. I believe that research in general, lives an era of big flow of
information. In addition, we currently have a crisis of reproducibility, many articles have
claims that cannot be duplicated. I have always been serious and detailist about my research.
In this respect, I make efforts to reconcile my results with theory or with any other
publication, and avoid explaining results which do not fit in current theories and leave them
as open questions.
My qualifications and experience are closely related to material science and renewable
energy. I feel that I am proficient in these areas and always reading to keep myself up-to-date.
Material science
This is a wide area of research. Nanotechnology is a current trend with the main idea of
making science possible within the Nano-realm. My specific line of research interest is
catalysts, where the geometric and electronic factors (i.e. active surface area and chemical
bond with reaction intermediates) are key for developing efficient materials to assist chemical
reactions, making them faster and more energy efficient. Geometric factors are enhanced by
construction methods, one example would be catalysts carriers with high surface area.
However, the electronic factor is a variable which is much difficult to improve. The main
theory behind this is the Sabatier principle. This Theory explains why certain materials as for
example those from the platinum group are good catalysts, but it does not assist to provide
new insights for the development of materials in this respect. Computational Chemistry is a
tool which is gaining more popularity to explain chemical interactions and can assist to
provide explanations or insights for the development of electronic factors. One of my
publications makes reference to the enhancement of the electronic factor by bimetallic
combination [1]. This publication belongs to one of the journal Daughters of nature.
Renewable energy
This is my second research interest. It is well known that the energy market is becoming
greener and shifting towards renewable energy. However, CO2 storage is a line of research
that is slowly meeting milestones. I am very interested in the Hydrogen economy, I made a
chapter book about hydrogen generation [2]. In this respect, I believe that water-splitting
devices would play an important role in the future, in addition a hydrogen economy has as
by-product fresh water which can alleviate locations where water is scarce. My main interest
about renewable energy is the area related to electrochemistry [3, 4].](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/3555dbd2-fe15-4f32-ade7-242717fd5c16-160908083542/85/Research-and-Teaching-Statement-1-320.jpg)

Teaching Interests
I understand that research is important but more important is to share the knowledge so that
new research generations can make new science. Teaching is essential for every researcher. I
believe that areas of teaching that would be compatible with my research interest would be
chemistry in the form of a teaching course or as a demonstrator. Another teaching interest
would be courses related to energy.
Chemistry
I have always enjoyed chemistry. My performance was excellent during my undergrad
courses, including my postgrad qualifications. I can teach chemistry, in addition, I have been
a chemistry demonstrator for years at Universities. I believe that I will do great as a
chemistry teacher and demonstrator for undergrads at University.
Energy courses
This is an area that I always read publications about it, in addition, I have several
qualifications about energy engineering. Ideas such as energy market, current energy
technologies, and energy studies in general would be a course that I could create or if there is
one in place at your institution, I could incorporate new ideas. In my chapter book [2], I
discuss emerging technologies and possible scenarios for the energy supply mix. Fossil fuels
would still be in the energy mix but it will compete with technologies such as wind and solar.
We should always keep in mind technologies such as fusion energy (not conventional fission)
which is slowly meeting milestones.

Lithium Ion Batteries, an Overview
Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries commonly used in consumer electronics. They work by using lithium ions shuttling between the anode and cathode during charging and discharging. The lithium ions are inserted into and extracted from the crystalline structures of the electrode materials without changing their structure. This allows the batteries to be recharged many times. Some advantages of lithium-ion batteries are their high energy density, lack of memory effect, and lack of liquid electrolyte which prevents leaking. They are used widely in electric vehicles, power tools, and consumer electronics due to their lightweight and high voltage output.
Preparation Of MXenes (A novel 2D Material)
This document discusses the preparation of MXene, a new class of 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides. MXenes are produced through selective etching of MAX phases, which are layered ternary compounds composed of early transition metals, group A elements, and carbon and/or nitrogen. The etching process removes the A layers from the MAX phase, resulting in 2D sheets of the transition metal carbides or nitrides known as MXenes. Potential applications of MXenes include their use as electrode materials in batteries and supercapacitors due to their high electrical conductivity and capacitance.
Defects in crystalline materials
There are several types of defects that can occur in crystalline materials, including point defects, line defects, and grain boundaries. Point defects include vacancies, interstitial atoms, and substitutional/interstitial impurities. Line defects include stacking faults which occur when the regular stacking sequence of atomic planes is disturbed. Grain boundaries separate crystalline grains of different orientations in polycrystalline materials. These defects influence many properties of materials.

Hydrogen as fuel
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe but does not exist naturally on Earth. It has potential as a clean fuel for vehicles and devices. Currently it is mainly produced from methane, but can also be generated through electrolysis and other methods. Hydrogen is colorless, odorless and highly flammable. It can power vehicles and devices through combustion or in fuel cells, which generate electricity through electrochemical reactions with oxygen and have higher efficiency than combustion engines. Widespread use of hydrogen faces challenges including lack of infrastructure and need for cost reductions in production and fuel cells.
Electrochemical energy storage
Electrochemical energy storage systems convert chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa through redox reactions. There are two main types: galvanic cells which convert chemical to electrical energy, and electrolytic cells which do the opposite. A basic electrochemical cell consists of two electrodes separated by an electrolyte. Primary cells cannot be recharged, while secondary cells are rechargeable through reversible chemical reactions. Lithium-ion batteries have become widely popular due to their high energy density and lack of memory effect.

Hydrogen has the highest energy content by mass of any fuel and can be used as a substitute for hydrocarbons. It has a non-polluting burning process. There are several methods for producing hydrogen, including electrolysis of water, thermo-chemical processes, and from fossil fuels. Electrolysis uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. Filter press electrolyzers are most widely used due to their ability to operate at high current densities and production rates. There are challenges to storing hydrogen including its low density and challenges maintaining it as a liquid.

Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
The document summarizes research on modifying the bandgap of n-TiO2 through carbon doping to enable its use in photoelectrochemical water splitting using visible light. Carbon-modified n-TiO2 (CM-n-TiO2) films were synthesized using spray pyrolysis. Increased carbon doping was achieved by calcining in inert atmosphere. CM-n-TiO2 exhibited photoresponse in the visible spectrum due to carbon doping reducing the bandgap and introducing an intragap band. This modified the band structure of n-TiO2 to extend utilization of solar energy into the visible region.

SCiO Molecular Sensor from Consumer Physics: Mobile Spectrometer Dongle - tea...
The world’s first pocket-sized molecular sensor that can be integrated into consumer smartphones
For a long time, spectral analysis of materials has been limited to academic research. Everyday application of this type of analysis could bring new interactions in areas including food, fitness and medication. Starting with a crowdfunding campaign, and following the path of companies like FLIR, Consumer Physics, which was formerly Verifood Ltd., has created the first dongle molecular sensor, the SCiO Spectrometer. Thanks to big data and cloud technology, the dongle spectrometer claims to take the spectral fingerprint of any substance and quantify or identify any compound.
Consumer Physics is the first to bring spectrometry to consumers. Unlike other spectrometers, Consumer Physics produces a very simple package based on a tiny spectrometer head, with an area of 13 mm x 19 mm.
The SCiO Spectrometer integrates a 1.2 M pixel monochromatic CMOS image sensor from ON Semiconductor, a white LED from OSRAM and a bespoke filter/lens array. The LED is coupled to a reflector in the illumination module, which shines light on the analyzed substance, whose molecules absorb specific wavelengths. The received light in the spectrometer module is filtered and broken up into different wavelengths by the various lenses. Finally, the image sensor gives an instant response from the analyzed substance.

This document presents a thesis that develops two models to investigate the dynamics of the world energy system from a biophysical economics perspective. The first model is an aggregated world energy model without trade between regions. It implements an existing biophysical economics model called GEMBA. The second model is a multi-region world energy model that considers energy trade between 11 world regions. Experiments on the multi-region model show that energy trade can be modeled using biophysical economics and its size will peak and decline over time as non-renewable energy production peaks. The size of energy production within regions increases when there is less trade.I want to write an argument about my Annotated Bibliography tha.docx

The marketization of energy commodities is conducive to the environmental protection and the development of energy technology
I have better understanding on the energy and environment and also learn much about the e energy and environment after a semester’s study and research. The environment in which we are living is changing, and energy consumption and environmental pollution are happening at every moment, so we should be responsible for the environment and the people in the future. As the resources and environment of the earth are limited, we will not enjoy them without any harm on resources and environment. Therefore, we should protect the environment and develop much new energy, which is also the main objective of our subject.
As a student in economic major, what I'm considering about is whether
As a student in economic major, what I'm considering is whether I can combine my major with the environmental protection and energy management and present my understanding. Therefore, the subject of my study is that the marketization of energy commodities is conducive to environmental protection and the development of energy technology. As we all know, fossil fuel is a non-renewable energy resource and occupies the large market share before the development of renewable energy, while the solar energy occupies only 0.4% market share (JAMES, 2017). Firstly, people find that the combustion efficiency of fossil fuels is low, however, the cost of the machine is high. It is detrimental to the economic development. Secondly, a lot of harmful gas, which will pollute our environment, will be created when we burn fossil fuels. Therefore, fossil fuel energy has to gradually withdrew from the market, and increasing people understand the importance of renewable energy. Many countries even make a large investment to build plants, such as wind power plant, solar power plant and hydraulic power plant. Why do they have to make a large investment to build such equipment? Actually, they build such equipment for protecting the environment in which we live and developing more hi-tech energy conservation measures.
Firstly, the solar power is not favored by people in the energy market initially. People do not pay much attention to the solar energy until recent years. MIT is one of the best and famous universities in the world, and its scientists has established a research group which found a new method for extracting solar energy. They converted solar energy into thermal energy, and then they convert the thermal energy into solar energy again. Then, the efficiency of the extraction of solar energy is greatly improved (JAMES, 2017). If the method is practically applied, many companies, in the solar market, will adopt it for extracting solar energy. Furthermore, as the cost is low, its price will be cheaper and it will bring more profits to those companies. Secondly, the solar panel is also an important factor. It is widely used now, such as solar water heater and ...

Research and Teaching Statement
- 1. Research and Teaching Statement Dario A. Delgado Aguilar Research Interests I have always been fascinated about science, how new insights and accidents have turned out to be important discoveries. I believe that research in general, lives an era of big flow of information. In addition, we currently have a crisis of reproducibility, many articles have claims that cannot be duplicated. I have always been serious and detailist about my research. In this respect, I make efforts to reconcile my results with theory or with any other publication, and avoid explaining results which do not fit in current theories and leave them as open questions. My qualifications and experience are closely related to material science and renewable energy. I feel that I am proficient in these areas and always reading to keep myself up-to-date. Material science This is a wide area of research. Nanotechnology is a current trend with the main idea of making science possible within the Nano-realm. My specific line of research interest is catalysts, where the geometric and electronic factors (i.e. active surface area and chemical bond with reaction intermediates) are key for developing efficient materials to assist chemical reactions, making them faster and more energy efficient. Geometric factors are enhanced by construction methods, one example would be catalysts carriers with high surface area. However, the electronic factor is a variable which is much difficult to improve. The main theory behind this is the Sabatier principle. This Theory explains why certain materials as for example those from the platinum group are good catalysts, but it does not assist to provide new insights for the development of materials in this respect. Computational Chemistry is a tool which is gaining more popularity to explain chemical interactions and can assist to provide explanations or insights for the development of electronic factors. One of my publications makes reference to the enhancement of the electronic factor by bimetallic combination [1]. This publication belongs to one of the journal Daughters of nature. Renewable energy This is my second research interest. It is well known that the energy market is becoming greener and shifting towards renewable energy. However, CO2 storage is a line of research that is slowly meeting milestones. I am very interested in the Hydrogen economy, I made a chapter book about hydrogen generation [2]. In this respect, I believe that water-splitting devices would play an important role in the future, in addition a hydrogen economy has as by-product fresh water which can alleviate locations where water is scarce. My main interest about renewable energy is the area related to electrochemistry [3, 4].
- 2. Dario A. Delgado Aguilar Research and Teaching Statement 2 Teaching Interests I understand that research is important but more important is to share the knowledge so that new research generations can make new science. Teaching is essential for every researcher. I believe that areas of teaching that would be compatible with my research interest would be chemistry in the form of a teaching course or as a demonstrator. Another teaching interest would be courses related to energy. Chemistry I have always enjoyed chemistry. My performance was excellent during my undergrad courses, including my postgrad qualifications. I can teach chemistry, in addition, I have been a chemistry demonstrator for years at Universities. I believe that I will do great as a chemistry teacher and demonstrator for undergrads at University. Energy courses This is an area that I always read publications about it, in addition, I have several qualifications about energy engineering. Ideas such as energy market, current energy technologies, and energy studies in general would be a course that I could create or if there is one in place at your institution, I could incorporate new ideas. In my chapter book [2], I discuss emerging technologies and possible scenarios for the energy supply mix. Fossil fuels would still be in the energy mix but it will compete with technologies such as wind and solar. We should always keep in mind technologies such as fusion energy (not conventional fission) which is slowly meeting milestones. References 1.
