1. Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Photoswitches for Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage Systems
Sammanfattning : To meet the future energy demands and handle climate changes, new sustainable energy sources must be developed. Over the last decades, great scientific progress on harvesting solar energy has been made, but storing the energy is still a challenge. LÄS MER
2. Energy Harvesting and Energy Storage for Wireless and Less-Wired Sensors in Harsh Environments
Sammanfattning : Engineering requires sensors to control and understand the environment. This is particularly important in harsh environments. The drawbacks, especially in gas turbines is the complexity of installing a wired sensor and the weight of the wires. This makes wireless sensors attractive. LÄS MER
3. Low temperature deicing of road infrastructure using renewable energy
Sammanfattning : Winter road maintenance is costly but it is inevitable since it is necessary to keep roads accessible and safe during winter. Current winter road maintenance methods use annually 600 000 tons of salt, in the Nordic countries. The salt ends up in the environment along the roads and results in environmental challenges.

4. Conjoined piezoelectric harvesters and carbon supercapacitors for powering intelligent wireless sensors
Sammanfattning : To achieve total freedom of location for intelligent wireless sensors (IWS), these need to be autonomous. To achive this today there is a need of broadband piezoelectric energy harvesting and a long-lasting energy. The Harvester need to be able to provide sufficient amount of energy for the intelligent wireless sensor to perform its task. LÄS MER
5. Norbornadienes for molecular solar thermal energy storage
Sammanfattning : Over the last decade, there has been great scientific progress in terms of harvesting solar energy but the area of storing energy is still facing challenges. One approach to store solar energy is via photoinduced isomerization of chemical bonds, referred to as molecular solar thermal energy storage (MOST). LÄS MER
