  1. 1. Plasmonic Nanospectrocopy of Individual Nanoparticles - Studies of Metal-Hydrogen Interactions and Catalysis

    Författare :Svetlana Alekseeva; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; grain boundary; metal-hydrogen interactions; plasmonic sensors; single particle spectroscopy; palladium nanoparticles and nanocrystals; localized surface plasmon resonance; hole-mask colloidal lithography; nanocatalysts; shrinking-hole colloidal lithography; plasmonic nanospectroscopy; dark field scattering spectroscopy; nanoscale effects;

    Sammanfattning : Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is the phenomenon of collective oscillation of conduction electrons in metal nanoparticles smaller than the wavelength of light used for the excitation. Plasmonic metal nanoparticles are able to confine light to extremely small volumes around them, i.e. below the diffraction limit. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Fuel cells have potential to become an integral technology in a future sustainable energy system. For transport applications, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is the most promising option, exhibiting light weight and high energy density. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Platinum-free Electrocatalysts : Design, Synthesis, and Energy Applications

    Författare :Yi Yang; Inna Soroka; Carina Lagergren; Serhiy Cherevko; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pt-free electrocatalysts; γ-radiation induced synthesis; size; morphology; structure; and composition of nanocatalysts; ORR; catalytic activity and durability; formation mechanism of catalyst materials in aqueous solutions.; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Pt is one of the most commonly used catalysts for green energy applications, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and dye-sensitized solar cells. Although enormous effort has been put into improving the catalytic activity and minimizing the usage of Pt in the catalysts, the low abundance and high price of Pt still limit the large-scale commercialization of green energy devices and facilities.

    Sammanfattning : During the last decades the specific manipulation of matter on the (sub-) nanometer scale, also known as nanoscience, became possible by technologies such as the scanning tunneling microscope. Nanocatalysts, i.e. catalytic active structures of up to a few nanometers in size, belong to this rather new class of materials. LÄS MER
