6. Surface Studies of Model Systems relevant for Pd and Ag Catalysts
Sammanfattning : This PhD thesis reports on investigations of the atomic scale structure of model catalysts relevant for the catalytic oxidation of CO and methane over Pd, and NOx reduction over silver-alumina, important reactions in automotive catalysts. By using complementary experimental techniques such as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, High Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Surface X-ray Diffraction, Low Energy Electron Diffraction, Infrared Spectroscopy, and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, combined with theoretical calculations, the work presented in this thesis aims at an atomistic characterization of the active sites for silver-alumina and Pd model catalysts which may help to the design of new and improved catalysts.

7. Cellulose derived carbon dots : From synthesis to evaluation as multifunctional building blocks in biomedical scaffolds
Sammanfattning : The implementation of biobased and biodegradable polymeric materials in biomedical applications is often coupled with issues related to their insufficient mechanical properties or limited bioactivity. In this thesis, a perspective on valorization of biomass is presented, demonstrating the transformation of cellulose into biobased carbon nanomaterials with the potential to serve as multifunctional property enhancers in polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold materials for tissue engineering.

8. Antiporter-like protein subunits of respiratory chain complex I
Sammanfattning : Complex I is the mitochondrial enzyme complex that oxidizes NADH produced in the citric acid cycle and reduces quinone in the membrane, coupled to proton pumping out of the mitochondrial matrix, creating a membrane potential. This process generates about 40% of the energy used by living organisms. LÄS MER
9. Engineering and applications of surface displayed tyrosinase on Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : The rise of biotechnology has provided a toolbox to deal with major challenges related to pollution and health. Microbial enzymes constitute powerful macromolecules with applications in environmental technology, and industrial and medical production. LÄS MER
10. Photosynthetic water oxidation : the function of two extrinsic proteins
Sammanfattning : The solar energy accumulated by photosynthesis over billions of years is the sole source of energy available on Earth. Photosystem II (PSII) uses the sunlight to split water, an energetically unfavorable reaction where electrons and protons are extracted from water and oxygen is released as a by-product. LÄS MER
