2. 1. Electrochemical Investigation of the Reaction Mechanism in Lithium-Oxygen Batteries

   Author : Jonas Lindberg; Göran Lindbergh; Ann M. Cornell; Bryan McCloskey; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lithium-Oxygen Batteries; Lithium Mass Transport; Oxygen Solubility; Reaction Rate Law; Reaction Mechanism; Electrode Passivation; Ultramicroelectrodes; Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance; EQCM; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Lithium-oxygen batteries, also known as Lithium-air batteries, could possibly revolutionize energy storage as we know. By letting lithium react with ambient oxygen gas very large theoretical energy densities are possible. READ MORE

4. 2. High Bandgap FAPbBr3 Perovskite Solar Cells : Preparation, Characterization, and Application

   Author : Yawen Liu; Erik Johansson; Tönu Pullerits; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; High-bandgap FAPbBr3; additives; defect passivation; dopant-free HTMs; 2D perovskites; carbon electrode; oxygen evolution; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : High bandgap lead-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained interest as top cells for tandem solar cells and photoelectrochemical applications due to their suitable energy bands. However, the PSCs have limited stability and performance, and their fabrication in a glovebox and utilization of expensive metal contacts increase the cost and limit their application. READ MORE

5. 3. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathodes for lithium-ion batteries : Exploring strategies for a stable electrode-electrolyte interphase

   Author : Alma Mathew; Daniel Brandell; Stefano Passerini; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Climate change, a pressing global issue, can be partially addressed by using electric vehicles to reduce CO2 emissions. In this context, high-energy and high-power density batteries are vital. The LiNi0.5Mn1. READ MORE

6. 4. Novel electrode and photoelectrode materials for hydrogen production based on molecular catalysts

   Author : Andrew J. Bagnall; Leif Hammarström; Vincent Artero; Sascha Ott; Alexander Cowan; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; electrochemical mechanism; hydrogen; artificial photosynthesis; molecular catalyst; hydrogen evolution; cobalt; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The PhD project focussed on the application of a cobalt tetraazamacrocyclic complex, in the literature commonly referred to as [Co(CR)Cl2]+ as a molecular catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This was within the broader scope of the EU MSCA H2020 ITN ‘eSCALED’ project, which primarily aimed to create artificial leaf devices for the storage of solar energy in chemical fuels and, as part of this, sought the development of novel bio-inspired and scalable materials.

7. 5. Operando Characterisation of Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

   Author : Yu-Chuan Chien; Daniel Brandell; Matthew Lacey; Paul Shearing; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lithium–sulfur batteries; operando characterisation; intermittent current interruption; X-ray diffraction; small-angle scattering; electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; Chemistry with specialization in Inorganic Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have been under the spotlight of research on electrochemical energy storage systems, primarily owing to their high theoretical specific energy (2552 Wh kg-1). So far, Li–S cells on the market have presented a specific energy of 400 Wh kg-1, which is superior to many commercial alternatives, but far below the theoretical value. READ MORE
