  5. 3. Combined Molecular Dynamics and Embedded-Cluster Calculations in Metal Oxide Surface Chemistry

    Author : Björn Herschend; Kersti Hermansson; Micael Baudin; Joachim Sauer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic chemistry; embedded-cluster; ab initio; molecular dynamics; metal oxide; ceria; magnesium oxide; adsorption; surface defect; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : The development and improvement of the functionality of metal oxides in heterogeneous catalysis and other surface chemical processes can greatly benefit from an atomic-level understanding of the surface chemistry. Atomistic calculations such as quantum mechanical (QM) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can provide highly detailed information about the atomic and electronic structure, and constitute valuable complements to experimental surface science techniques.

  7. 5. Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia and Gadolinia-Doped Ceria Thin Films for Fuel Cell Applications

    Author : Steffen Sønderby; Per Eklund; Scott Barnett; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Solid oxide fuel cells convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy with high efficiency and low emission of pollutants. However, before fuel cell technology can gain a significant share of the electrical power market, the operation temperature needs to be reduced in order to decrease costs and improve the durability of the cells.
