    Algebraic Topology Metheds on Graph Coloring

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Pouria Omidi (Author) ; Jafari, Amir (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The aim of this thesis is to introduce some algebraic topologies methods and apply them on fining the chromatic number of some famous graphs and also hypergraphs. In the first part, we will use a mixture of two well-known technics, Tucker lemma and Discrete Morse theory to find an upper bound for the chromatic number of s-stable Kneser for some specific vector s. to find the sharper upper bound, we will deviate our strategy and use another approach by finding an edge-labeling and apply some theorems in POSET algebraic topology. In this way, we also find a connection between Young diagrams and the numbers of spheres in the box complex related to Kneser graphs and hypergraph. Actually, we can...

The experimental results demonstrate that the graphitic structures and functional groups of the GO and CNT play an important role in controlling nucleation, growth speed, size, and finally morphology of hierarchical nanosheets. The electrochemical results...

    Abstract
    Nickel-zinc batteries as safe and economic energy storage devices suffer from lack of high electrochemical performance of cathode materials. Herein, a new cathode material for rechargeable Ni/Zn batteries is introduced based on various compositions of mixed metal oxide (MMO) through a calcination process of nickel-vanadium layered double hydroxide at different temperatures. The results demonstrated that the prepared sample at 500 °C presents the best electrochemical properties such as a good electrochemical discharge capacity (278.4 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1), good cycle life (capacity retention of 74% after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1), and excellent rate capability (177 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1). These...

    Abstract
    This paper deals with investigation of deformations and pull-in charges of the cantilever and doubly clamped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different geometries using molecular dynamics simulation technique. The well-known AIREBO potential for the covalent bonds between carbon atoms, Lennar-Jones potential for the vdW interaction and the Coulomb potential for electrostatic actuation are employed to model the nano electromechanical system. The results reveal that longer CNTs with smaller diameters have smaller pull-in charges in comparison with shorter CNTs possessing larger diameters. Furthermore, the pull-in charges of the doubly clamped CNTs are higher than the pull-in charges of the...

    In this work, we reported the synthesis of a sulfonated poly(ether keto imide sulfone) (SPEKIS) using a novel aromatic diol containing nitrogen heterocycles and sulfonic monomer. New nanocomposite blend membranes were prepared using obtained SPEKIS and polybenzimidazole (PBI) with the incorporation of zinc sulfide (ZnS) functionalized quantum dots (FQDs) having both -COOH and NH2 groups with a solution-casting method and were used as proton exchange membranes. The SPEKIS and ZnS FQDs were used for the first time in the preparation of new nanocomposite blend membranes based on PBI. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of SPEKIS and ZnS FQDs on the PBI membrane performance in...

    Abstract
    In this study, we prepared cerium oxide (CeO2) hybridized with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets using the hydrothermal method. CeO2 and CeO2/rGO were evaluated as electrode materials for use in supercapacitor applications. The structure and morphology of the synthesized materials were investigated. Cyclic voltammetry tests determined a high specific capacitance of 581 F g−1 for CeO2/rGO at a scan rate of 10 mV s−1 in 2 M KOH. In addition, the CeO2/rGO electrode retained 91 % of its initial capacitance after 5000 consecutive cycles, thereby indicating its excellent electrochemical stability. The excellent stability of CeO2/rGO was due to a synergistic effect between CeO2 and rGO. CeO2...

    Abstract
    In this study, new nanocomposite membranes from sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and proton-conducting Fe2TiO5 nanoparticles are prepared by the solution casting method. Sulfonated core-shell Fe2TiO5 nanoparticles are synthesized by redox polymerization. Therefore, 4-Vinyl benzene sulfonate (VBS) and 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) are grafted on the surface of nanoparticles through radical polymerization. The different amounts of hybrid nanoparticles (PAMPS@Fe2TiO5 and PVBS@Fe2TiO5) are incorporated into the SPEEK matrix. The results show higher proton conductivity for all prepared nanocomposites than that of the SPEEK membrane. Embedding the sulfonated...
