2. 1. Effects of solar radiation on the abiotic and bacterially mediated carbon flux in aquatic ecosystems

   Author : Alexandre Magno Anesio; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacteria; dissolved inorganic carbon DIC ; bioavailability; aquatic macrophytes; photooxidation; detritus decomposition; Ultraviolet radiation; dissolved organic carbon DOC ; fungi; Hydrobiology; marine biology; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi;

   Abstract : In this Thesis, I studied some of the current aspects of organic matter photochemistry. I analyzed abiotic phototransformations of several types of dissolved (DOM) and particulate organic matter (POM). I also evaluated the effects of phototransformation of several types of DOM on bacteria. READ MORE

4. 2. Synthesis of Conjugated Polymers: Photoactive Substances for Photonic Devices

   Author : Mikael Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; synthesis; microcavity laser devices; electroluminescence; conjugated polymers; light-emitting diodes; photoluminescence; photooxidation; energy transfer;

   Abstract : Synthesis and characterization of conjugated polymers are the subject of this thesis, the goal of which is to synthesize polymers with properties that will make them suitable as the active materials in applications such as light-emitting diodes and microcavity laser devices. The two classes of conjugated polymers studied are poly(p-phenylenevinylenes) (PPVs) and polyfluorenes (PFs). READ MORE

5. 3. MECHANISMS OF ENHANCED ACTIVITY OF MODEL TiO2/CARBON and TiO2/METAL NANOCOMPOSITE PHOTOCATALYSTS

   Author : Raja Sellappan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photocatalysis; graphite; solar energy conversion; graphene; localized surface plasmon resonance; photocatalytic mechanisms; nanocomposites; TiO2; carbon;

   Abstract : TiO2 is the most widely used photocatalyst for energy and environmental applications because of its outstanding physical and chemical properties. However, the quantum efficiency of TiO2 is greatly diminished by fast electron-hole pairs recombination and light absorption only in the UV region. READ MORE

6. 4. In Search of the Holy Grail of Photoelectrochemistry : A Study of Thin Film Electrodes for Solar Hydrogen Generation

   Author : Torbjörn Lindgren; Sten-Eric Lindquist; Claes-Göran Granqvist; Bengt Kasemo; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; photoelectrochemistry; watersplitting; artificial photosynthesis; hydrogen; thin film; nanostructured; Fysik; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Hydrogen is a wanted energy carrier in a future society less dependent of fossil fuels. This thesis investigates the possibilities of using solar energy to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen, so called artificial photosynthesis. READ MORE

7. 5. Molecular Approaches to Photochemical Solar Energy Conversion : Towards Synthetic Catalysts for Water Oxidation and Proton Reduction

   Author : Gerriet Eilers; Reiner Lomoth; Leif Hammarström; Wolfgang Lubitz; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Physical chemistry; artificial photosynthesis; solar fuel; WOC; OEC; accumulative electron transfer; hydrogenase mimic; oxygen evolution; proton reduction; water oxidation; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : A molecular system capable of photoinduced water splitting is an attractive approach to solar energy conversion. This thesis deals with the functional characterization of molecular building blocks for the three principal functions of such a molecular system: Photoinduced accumulative charge separation, catalytic water oxidation, and catalytic proton reduction.
