  1. 16. Kinetics of Nanoparticle Catalysis from First Principles

    Författare :Mikkel Jørgensen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional Theory; Mean field approximation; Acetylene hydrogenation; Kinetic Monte Carlo; CO oxidation; Entropy; Methane oxidation; Heterogeneous catalysis; Kinetic modeling; Nanoparticles;

    Sammanfattning : Modern society depends heavily on heterogeneous catalysis, which creates strong economical and environmental incentives to improve catalyst efficiency. Heterogeneous catalysts are often realized as metal nanoparticles (NPs) supported on oxide surfaces, and catalysts are traditionally developed by trial and error approaches. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Phase Formation of Nanolaminated Transition Metal Carbide Thin Films

    Författare :Chung-Chuan Lai; Johanna Rosén; Per Eklund; Lars Hultman; Miladin Radovic; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Research on inherently nanolaminated transition metal carbides is inspired by their unique properties combining metals and ceramics, such as higher damage tolerance, better machinability and lower brittleness compared to the binary counterparts, yet retaining the metallic conductivity. The interesting properties are related to their laminated structure, composed of transition-metalcarbide layers interleaved by non-transition-metal (carbide) layers. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Neutron scattering investigations of proton dynamics in acceptor doped barium zirconates

    Författare :Daria Noferini; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

    Sammanfattning : Hydrogen fuel cells represent one of the most promising sustainable technologies for energy conversion. The advantages of the combination of a solid state electrolyteand low operational temperatures (... LÄS MER

  5. 19. Tailoring of Transition Metal Silicides as Protective Thin Films on Austenitic Stainless Steel

    Författare :Eric Tam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rockwell-C adhesion test; X-ray diffractrometry XRD ; Pretorius’ effective heat of formation EHF model; Ion-beam sputter deposition IBSD ; Reciprocating sliding wear test; Corrosion; Stainless steels; Thin films; Tribology; Transition metal silicides; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS ; Potentiodynamic polarisation measurements;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of this study is to make use of transition metal silicides in a novel way as protective thin films on engineering metals. It can then be possible to take advantage of the potentially good corrosion resistance of metal silicides while compensating for their brittle nature by the ductile bulk material. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Circumventing Spectrum Mismatch - Studies of Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Upconversion, Singlet Fission and Two-Photon Absorption in Photoactive Materials

    Författare :Deise Fernanda Barbosa de Mattos; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; singlet fission; solar energy conversion; two-photon absorption; energy transfer; triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion; spectroscopy.; carbon nitride quantum dots; self-assembly gels; photochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Solar energy stands out for its potential to supply the global energy demand by itself. Therefore, it is of great value to expand the use of processes that involve light such as conversion to electricity or fuels, or to drive high-energy reactions. LÄS MER
