1. Conducting Polymer Electrodes for Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Sammanfattning : Both the pollution level of the environment and the increasing energy demands have stimulated intense research on the development of low-cost environmentally-friendly energy conversion and storage systems with high efficiency, such as metal-air batteries and fuel cells.One of the most essential parts of both fuel cells and metal–air batteries is the air-electrode which is responsible for the reduction of O2.

2. Iron-nitrogen containing carbon catalysts for oxygen reduction in fuel cells
Sammanfattning : New solutions to efficiently convert energy are needed to mitigate global climate changes and sustain the needs of the growing population. An energy device with high potential is the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. PEM fuel cells can convert chemical energy to electrical energy with extraordinary high conversion efficiency.

3. Oxygen Carriers Materials for Chemical-Looping Technologies
Sammanfattning : Carbon dioxide is the gas which contributes most to the greenhouse effect. It is released in large quantities from fossil fuel-based power plants around the world. It is generally accepted that a rapid decrease in the emissions of carbon dioxide is needed. LÄS MER
4. Properties of oxygen carriers based on natural and waste materials at high degrees of reduction
Sammanfattning : Oxygen carriers play an important role in multiple energy conversion processes, such as chemical-looping technology and oxygen-carrier-aided combustion. This thesis particularly explores how a high reduction degree of an oxygen carrier can affect its performance. LÄS MER
5. Molecular Approaches to Photochemical Solar Energy Conversion : Towards Synthetic Catalysts for Water Oxidation and Proton Reduction
Sammanfattning : A molecular system capable of photoinduced water splitting is an attractive approach to solar energy conversion. This thesis deals with the functional characterization of molecular building blocks for the three principal functions of such a molecular system: Photoinduced accumulative charge separation, catalytic water oxidation, and catalytic proton reduction.
