1. Electronic structure and spectroscopy calculations in fuel cell catalysis
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents joint experimental and theoretical studies of surface phenomena at an electronic structure level in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM-FC's). The fuel cell activity can be related to the oxygen reduction taking place at the cathodic surface through the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). LÄS MER
2. Surface reactions and chemical bonding in heterogeneous catalysis
Sammanfattning : This thesis summarizes studies which focus on addressing, using both theoretical and experimental methods, fundamental questions about surface phenomena, such as chemical reactions and bonding, related to processes in heterogeneous catalysis. The main focus is on the theoretical approach and this aspect of the results. LÄS MER
3. Thermal Cycling, Creep- and Tensile Testing of Cast Exhaust Materials at Elevated Temperatures
Sammanfattning : An exhaust manifold of a truck engine is subjected to tough conditions. As the truck is started, operated and shut down, it becomes subjected to thermal cycling up to around 800°C. At such high temperatures, corrosion, fatigue and creep are active degradation mechanisms. LÄS MER
