1. Titanium oxide nanoparticle production using high power pulsed plasmas
Abstract : This thesis covers fundamental aspects of process control when growing titanium oxide nanoparticles in a reactive sputtering process. It covers the influence of oxygen containing gas on the oxidation state of the cathode from which the growth material is ejected, as well as its influence on the particles oxidation state and their nucleation.

2. Chemical Transformation of Inorganic Species in Thermochemical Conversion of Waste-Derived Fuels - The Role of Oxygen Carriers
Abstract : Waste-derived fuels are used increasingly in heat and power production systems in Sweden. Thermal conversion of waste-derived and biomass fuels offers the possibility of achieving carbon dioxide-neutral or even negative emissions. To limit global warming, it is essential to integrate these systems with carbon capture and storage. READ MORE

3. Environmentally relevant chemical disruptors of oxidative phosphorylation in Baltic Sea biota : Exposure and toxic potentials
Abstract : This thesis focuses on toxicity and occurrence of hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (OH-PBDEs) in Baltic Sea biota. The aims were to assess OH-PBDEs potency for disruption of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and determine their and related compounds exposure in Baltic blue mussel, herring and long-tailed duck.

5. Structure and chemical ordering in metallic nanoparticles from atomic scale modeling
Abstract : In the last decades, a wide range of attractive properties have put metallic nanoparticles in the spotlight. These properties, often related to optical response and catalytic performance, are to a large extent dependent on structure and chemical ordering, that is, the distribution of elements in the nanoparticle.
