  2. 1. Multifunctional Carbon Foams by Emulsion Templating : Synthesis, Microstructure, and 3D Li-ion Microbatteries

    Author : Habtom Desta Asfaw; Kristina Edström; Leif Nyholm; John R. Owen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Battery; Carbon; Electrochemical; Electrodeposition; Emulsion; Energy; Exfoliation; Foam; Lithium; Microbattery; Multifunctional; Nanoparticles; Polyaniline; Polymer; Power; Sol-gel; Storage; Structured; Three-dimensional; Kemi med inriktning mot materialkemi; Chemistry with specialization in Materials Chemistry;

    Abstract : Carbon foams are among the existing electrode designs proposed for use in 3D Li-ion microbatteries. For such electrodes to find applications in practical microbatteries, however, their void sizes, specific surface areas and pore volumes need be optimized. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cellulose derived carbon dots : From synthesis to evaluation as multifunctional building blocks in biomedical scaffolds

    Author : Nejla Benyahia Erdal; Minna Hakkarainen; Jukka Seppälä; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose; microwave; carbon dots; polycaprolactone; scaffold; mineralization; drug loading; cellulosa; mikrovågor; kolnanopartiklar; polykaprolakton; stödmatris för vävnadsregenerering; mineralisering; läkemedelsbärare; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The implementation of biobased and biodegradable polymeric materials in biomedical applications is often coupled with issues related to their insufficient mechanical properties or limited bioactivity. In this thesis, a perspective on valorization of biomass is presented, demonstrating the transformation of cellulose into biobased carbon nanomaterials with the potential to serve as multifunctional property enhancers in polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold materials for tissue engineering.

  5. 3. Nanotemplated High-Temperature Materials for Catalytic Combustion

    Author : Erik Elm Svensson; Sven Järås; Magali Boutonnet; James J. Spivey; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Carbon templating; Catalytic combustion; Ceria; Gas turbine; Hexaaluminate; Magnesia; Methane; Microemulsion; Perovskite; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Catalytic combustion is a promising technology for heat and power applications, especially gas turbines. By using catalytic combustion ultra low emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) can be reached simultaneously, which is very difficult with conventional combustion technologies.

  6. 4. Assemblies of Colloidal Hydrochar Nanoparticles and their Derived Activated Carbons for CO2 Sorption

    Author : Xia Wang; Niklas Hedin; Gunnar Svensson; Oren Regev; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; colloids; hydrothermal carbonization; glucose; directed assembly; reactive infiltration; templating; silicon carbide; tricopper silicide; redispersion; nanoparticles; chemical activation; activated carbons; CO2 sorption; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : Carbon-rich colloids are of great fundamental and technological interest and in this thesis, I tested a range of hypotheses and studied aspects of small hydrochar-based colloids and their colloidal and material chemistry. Crude hydrochar dispersions were synthesized by hydrothermal carbonization of glucose and purified by dialysis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Shaping Macroporous Ceramics : templated synthesis, X-ray tomography and permeability

    Author : Linnéa Andersson; Lennart Bergström; Ludwig Gauckler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alumina; ceramic; CO2 capture; colloidal processing; expandable microspheres; gel casting; layer-by-layer; macroporosity; near-net shape; non-destructive evaluation; permeability; porosity; sacrificial templating; X-ray computed tomography; Chemistry; Kemi; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : Macroporous ceramic materials have found widespread technological application ranging from particulate filters in diesel engines, tissue engineering scaffolds, and as support materials in carbon capture processes. This thesis demonstrates how the pore space of macroporous alumina can be manipulated, analysed in three-dimensions (3D) using visualisation techniques, and functionalised with a CO2-adsorbing material.
