2. 1. Nanofluidics as a tool for parallelized single nanoparticle characterization: Fluorescence single nanoparticle catalysis and size determination through 1D Brownian motion

   Author : Sune Levin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dark field microscopy; single nanoparticle catalysis; heterogenous catalysis; particle tracking; Brownian motion; fluorescence microscopy; nanofluidics;

   Abstract : Nanoparticles exist widely in nature and are objects of study in many scientific disciplines due to their high performance in a wide range of applications. With modern techniques that facilitate creating and shaping of nanoparticles into ever more complex shapes and compositions, characterization of particle properties is essential. READ MORE

4. 2. Exhaust aftertreatment under lean conditions, regenerable SOx traps and NOx reduction catalysts

   Author : Lisa Kylhammar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heterogenous catalysis; Selective catalytic reduction; HC-SCR; Sulfur storage; SOx trap; Spectroscopy; Lean exhausts; NOx; Ag Al2O3; DRIFT; XPS;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate i) potential materials for regenerable SOx traps and ii) the influence of silver distribution within Ag/Al2O3 catalysts on the selective reduction of NOx by hydrocarbons (HC-SCR). Both areas are highly relevant for present and future vehicle aftertreatment technologies for lean exhausts. READ MORE

6. 4. Advances in Stereoselective Palladium(ΙΙ)-Catalyzed Oxidative Transformations of Allenes

   Author : Daniels Posevins; Jan-Erling Bäckvall; Troels Skrydstrup; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Synthesis; Palladium Catalysis; Allenes; Biomimetic; Carbocyclization; Borylation; Carbonylation; Oxidation; Heterogeneous; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : Palladium(ΙΙ)-catalyzed carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation via selective C-H bond oxidation constitutes a step-economical and versatile approach towards complex target molecules. This thesis has been focused on the development of new selective palladium(ΙΙ)-catalyzed transformations of allenes under oxidative conditions catalyzed by either homogenous or heterogeneous palladium(ΙΙ) catalysts.

7. 5. CO, CO2 and N2 hydrogenation reactions probed by operando x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

   Author : David Degerman; Anders Nilsson; Miquel Salmeron; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Operando Catalysis; Hydrogenation reactions; High-Pressure X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy; Syngas; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

   Abstract : Catalytic reactions are essential for generating the chemical products required by the modern society. In particular, reactions related to clean energy storage and generation as well as fertilizer production are facilitated by catalysts. However, the processes are often insufficiently understood at a mechanistic level. READ MORE
