1. Lean NOx reduction by alternative fuels - with focus on catalysts for dimethyl ether
Sammanfattning : There is an increased demand for diesel engines running on non-fossil fuels such as dimethyl ether (DME), biodiesel and synthetic diesel. DME is a promising alternative fuel with potential for high energy efficiency and low CO2 emissions. However, during all high temperature combustion NOx is formed, which may require exhaust aftertreatment. LÄS MER
2. Characterization of oxide-based catalysts and model catalysts for renewable fuels
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents fundamental studies on oxide-based catalysts and model catalysts used for the synthesis of renewable fuels. The two investigated oxide catalysts are In2O3(111) model catalysts and NiMo-oxide catalysts.The In2O3(111) surface is studied as a model system for In2O3-based catalysts used for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol.

3. First principles studies of CO2 activation and reduction over indium oxide and copper surfaces
Sammanfattning : Catalytic recycling of carbon dioxide (CO2) to added-value chemicals, such as methanol (CH3OH), have been proposed as a possible path for sustainable production of fuel and chemicals, in addition to providing a route to mitigate anthropogenic carbon emissions. Several catalytic systems are known to be active for conversion of CO2 to methanol, Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 being the main industrial catalyst for the process. LÄS MER
4. CO2 activation for methanol synthesis on copper and indium oxide surfaces
Sammanfattning : Catalytic recycling of CO2 to added-value chemicals, such as methanol (CH3OH), has been proposed as a possible way for sustainable production of fuel and chemicals, in addition to providing a route to mitigate climate change. Multiple systems are known to be active for the conversion of CO2 to methanol, and the state of the art catalyst is Cu/ZnO/Al2O3. LÄS MER
5. First-Principles Studies of Materials Properties : Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions & Functional Materials
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the first-principles studies of materials properties within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The thesis constitutes three main parts, i. e., pressure-induced phase transitions in solids, data-storage and clean-energy materials. LÄS MER
