1. Ionic and electronic transport in electrochemical and polymer based systems
Sammanfattning : Electrochemical systems, which rely on coupled phenomena of the chemical change and electricity, have been utilized for development an interface between biological systems and conventional electronics. The development and detailed understanding of the operation mechanism of such interfaces have a great importance to many fields within life science and conventional electronics. LÄS MER
2. Conducting Polymer Electrodes for Thermogalvanic Cells
Sammanfattning : Fossil fuels are still the dominant (ca. 80%) energy source in our society. A significant fraction is used to generate electricity with a heat engine possessing an efficiency of approximately 35%. Therefore, about 65% of fossil fuel energy is wasted in heat. LÄS MER
3. Electrochemical characterizations of conducting redox polymers with proton traps : Enabling proton cycling in aprotic systems for high potential energy storage
Sammanfattning : Floods, droughts and unpredictable weather could be the new reality for millions of people in a near future, unless we drastically decrease our greenhouse gas emissions to prevent the global average temperature from increasing even further. Material innovations will most certainly be essential for many of the technical solutions needed in order to tackle environmental issues. LÄS MER
4. Electron transport in quaternized cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine) films containing trapped redox molecules : experimental and theoretical aspects that concern identification of electron translation mechanisms
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the identification of electron translation mechanisms in quaternized cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine) films containing trapped redox molecules. Experimental aspects, such as the determination of the total amounts of electroactive species within the films, measurements of electrochemical rate parameters and ellipsometric film thickness evaluation, are discussed together with theoretical models that predict different mechanisms of charge transport.
