11. Electrocatalyst materials for low-temperature hydrogen fuel cells
Sammanfattning : Fuel cells have emerged as one alternative to satisfy the need of energy systems with net-zero emissions. Although fuel cells date back to the 1800s, it is only during the last decades that their research has boosted to ease their commercialization. LÄS MER
12. Novel Layered and 2D Materials for Functionality Enhancement of Contacts and Gas Sensors
Sammanfattning : Chemical gas sensors are widely-used electronic devices for detecting or measuring the density levels of desired gas species. In this study, materials with established or potential applications for gas sensors are treated. LÄS MER
13. Functional Ceramics in Biomedical Applications : On the Use of Ceramics for Controlled Drug Release and Targeted Cell Stimulation
Sammanfattning : Ceramics are distinguished from metals and polymers by their inorganic nature and lack of metallic properties. They can be highly crystalline to amorphous, and their physical and chemical properties can vary widely. LÄS MER
14. Nitride Thin Films for Thermoelectric Applications : Synthesis, Characterization and Theoretical Predictions
Sammanfattning : Thermoelectrics is the reversible process which transforms a temperature gradient across a material into an external voltage through a phenomenon known as the Seebeck effect. This has resulted in niche applications such as solid-state cooling for electronic and optoelectronic devices which exclude the need for a coolant or any moving parts and long-lasting, maintenance-free radioisotope thermoelectric generators used for deep-space exploration.

15. Computational Studies of Nanotube Growth, Nanoclusters and Cathode Materials for Batteries
Sammanfattning : Density functional theory has been used to investigate cathode materials for rechargeable batteries, carbon nanotube interactions with catalyst particles and transition metal catalyzed hydrogen release in magnesium hydride nanoclusters. An effort has been made to the understand structural and electrochemical properties of lithium iron silicate (Li2FeSiO4) and its manganese-doped analogue. LÄS MER
