1. Electrochemical Reactions in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Sammanfattning : The polymer electrolyte fuel cell converts the chemical energy in a fuel, e.g. hydrogen or methanol, and oxygen into electrical energy. The high efficiency and the possibility to use fuel from renewable sources make them attractive as energy converters in future sustainable energy systems. LÄS MER
2. Methanol and formic acid oxidising anodes in zinc electrowinning
Sammanfattning : Electrowinning is an energy demanding process, in which the electrolysis accounts for the major part of the energy consumption. The anodic reaction in the electrolysis of zinc from sulphate based electrolytes is oxygen evolution, which has a standard potential of 1.23 V at 25 ºC. LÄS MER
3. Palladium-catalyzed lignin valorization : Towards a lignin-based biorefinery
Sammanfattning : The work described in this thesis focuses on the cleavage of the β-O-4′ bond, which is the most abundant interunit linkage in the lignin polymer.In the first part, three methods based on palladium catalysis have been developed and their applicability has been verified using lignin model compounds.

4. Synthesis and characterization of palladium based carbon nanostructure-composites and their clean-energy application
Sammanfattning : Carbon nanostructures are a wide field with many applications. The use of carbon nanostructures as support in heterogeneous catalysis is a key development that led together with the use of nanoparticles to a significant cost reduction of catalysts. Catalysts designed in this way are widely applied in fuel cell technologies. LÄS MER
5. Molecular studies of initial atmospheric corrosion of copper : Exploration of ultra-sensitive techniques for the inhibiting effect of self assembled monolayers, and the effect of gamma radiation
Sammanfattning : Atmospheric corrosion indoors is of great practical importance for the degradation of metals, for example in electronics, military equipment, and cultural heritage items. It involves a wide range of chemical, electrochemical, and physical processes occurring in gas, liquid, and solid phases, and at the interfaces between them. LÄS MER
