26. Development of Electrochemical Biosensors for Neurochemical Applications
Sammanfattning : The brain consists of billions of cells, including nerve cells, which have the ability of transforming an incoming electrical signal in to a chemical output by the release of neurotransmitters through a process called exocytosis. Malfunction in neuronal communication has been linked to several conditions including Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, ADHD and autism why a better understanding of neuronal communication is of great importance contributing to increased knowledge about these conditions.

27. Strontium Titanate-based Anodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Sammanfattning : The purpose for this work has been to develop new robust fuel electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The aim was to find suitable ceramic materials or composites with promising properties for the use as SOFC anodes. LÄS MER
28. Iron Based Materials for Positive Electrodes in Li-ion Batteries : Electrode Dynamics, Electronic Changes, Structural Transformations
Sammanfattning : Li-ion battery technology is currently the most efficient form of electrochemical energy storage. The commercialization of Li-ion batteries in the early 1990’s revolutionized the portable electronics market, but further improvements are necessary for applications in electric vehicles and load levelling of the electric grid.

29. Going for gold : A spectroelectrochemical and catalytic study of gold materials
Sammanfattning : With the increase in demand for renewable energy, understanding chemical processes is essential for improving the design of catalysts in order to achieve better performance. This thesis summarises the experimental investigation of three types of catalytic gold materials: gold oxide formed from gold films, oxide-derived gold (OD-Au) produced from gold films, and gold nanoparticles supported on metal oxides.

30. Diagnosis of the Lifetime Performance Degradation of Lithium-Ion Batteries : Focus on Power-Assist Hybrid Electric Vehicle and Low-Earth-Orbit Satellite Applications
Sammanfattning : Lithium-ion batteries are a possible choice for the energy storage system onboard hybrid electric vehicles and low-earth-orbit satellites, but lifetime performance remains an issue. The challenge is to diagnose the effects of ageing and then investigate the dependence of the magnitude of the deterioration on different accelerating factors (e.g. LÄS MER
