2. Classical and Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Polyvalent Metal Ions in Water
Sammanfattning : The aqueous solvation of metal ions is one of the long-standing and complex problems in chemistry, with implications for and applications in a broad range of biochemical and electrochemical systems, where water is the all-pervasive medium.This thesis describes computer simulations of Al3+(aq), Fe2+(aq), Fe3+(aq) and Cu2+(aq).

3. Oxygen Storage Chemistry of Nanoceria
Sammanfattning : The versatile redox chemistry of ceria (CeO2) originates from its Ce4f electron, which plays the key role in changing the oxidation state of Ce between +IV and +III. Ceria is, among other things, a material that can act as a powerful oxygen buffer with a high oxygen storage capacity (OSC). LÄS MER
4. Dynamics in Ceria and Related Materials from Molecular Dynamics and Lattice Dynamics
Sammanfattning : In discussions of heterogeneous catalysis and other surface-related phenomena, the dynamical properties of the catalytic material are often neglected, even at elevated temperatures. An example is the three-way catalyst (TWC), used for treatment of exhaust gases from combustion engines operating at several hundred degrees Celsius. LÄS MER
5. Chemistry and Physics of Cu and H2O on ZnO Surfaces : Electron Transfer, Surface Triangles, and Theory
Sammanfattning : This thesis discusses the chemistry and physics of Cu and H2O on ZnO surfaces, based primarily on results from quantum chemical calculations. The underlying context is heterogeneous catalysis, where Cu/ZnO-mixtures are used in the industrial synthesis of methanol and in the water gas shift reaction. LÄS MER
