1. Microphase Separated Cation Conducting Polymers : Design, Synthesis, and Properties
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the synthesis and properties of five different cation conducting polymer systems. These systems were designed so that the polymers would be able to microphase separate into distinct phases with one phase for mechanical strength and one for ionic conductivity. LÄS MER
2. Exploring N-alicyclic quaternary ammonium functional polymers as hydroxide exchange membranes
Sammanfattning : As the global power generation is shifted toward renewable and intermittent sources, the importance of fuel cells and other energy storage and conversion devices is continually increasing. However, many of these technologies are still under development and further research is necessary before they can be implemented. LÄS MER
3. Novel Materials for Fuel Cells and Batteries Light Scattering Studies of the Structure and Dynamics of Polymer Electrolytes
Sammanfattning : The development of new materials and technologies for electrochemical energy conversion and storage, such as fuel cells and batteries, is important for a future more efficient use of energy. Polymer electrolytes are key components in polymer electrolyte fuel cells and lithium-based batteries. LÄS MER
4. Modelling and Experimental Investigation of the Dynamics in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Sammanfattning : In polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) chemical energy, in for example hydrogen, is converted by an electrochemical process into electrical energy. The PEFC has a working temperature generally below 100 °C. Under these conditions water management and transport of oxygen to the cathode are the parameters limiting the performance of the PEFC.

5. Intrinsically Proton-Conducting Benzimidazole Units Tethered to Different Polymer Chain Architectures
Sammanfattning : Proton transport is a fundamental process that can be found in many systems in nature, as well as in technical devices, such as fuel cells, electrochromic devices and various types of sensors. Fuel cell technology is considered as environmentally friendly because fuel cells are not limited by the Carnot cycle, and efficiently converts chemical energy into electrical energy which can be used for powering cars, laptops, buildings etc. LÄS MER
