    Abstract : Carbon dioxide is the gas which contributes most to the greenhouse effect. It is released in large quantities from fossil fuel-based power plants around the world. It is generally accepted that a rapid decrease in the emissions of carbon dioxide is needed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Properties of oxygen carriers based on natural and waste materials at high degrees of reduction

    Author : Victor Purnomo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high reduction; defluidization; chemical-looping gasification; oxygen carrier; reactivity;

    Abstract : Oxygen carriers play an important role in multiple energy conversion processes, such as chemical-looping technology and oxygen-carrier-aided combustion. This thesis particularly explores how a high reduction degree of an oxygen carrier can affect its performance. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular Approaches to Photochemical Solar Energy Conversion : Towards Synthetic Catalysts for Water Oxidation and Proton Reduction

    Author : Gerriet Eilers; Reiner Lomoth; Leif Hammarström; Wolfgang Lubitz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Physical chemistry; artificial photosynthesis; solar fuel; WOC; OEC; accumulative electron transfer; hydrogenase mimic; oxygen evolution; proton reduction; water oxidation; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : A molecular system capable of photoinduced water splitting is an attractive approach to solar energy conversion. This thesis deals with the functional characterization of molecular building blocks for the three principal functions of such a molecular system: Photoinduced accumulative charge separation, catalytic water oxidation, and catalytic proton reduction.
