2. 1. Platinum-free Electrocatalysts : Design, Synthesis, and Energy Applications

   Author : Yi Yang; Inna Soroka; Carina Lagergren; Serhiy Cherevko; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pt-free electrocatalysts; γ-radiation induced synthesis; size; morphology; structure; and composition of nanocatalysts; ORR; catalytic activity and durability; formation mechanism of catalyst materials in aqueous solutions.; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Pt is one of the most commonly used catalysts for green energy applications, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and dye-sensitized solar cells. Although enormous effort has been put into improving the catalytic activity and minimizing the usage of Pt in the catalysts, the low abundance and high price of Pt still limit the large-scale commercialization of green energy devices and facilities.

   Abstract : A long term challenge for society is to develop sustainable energy systems to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and to decrease air pollution. This requires new alternatives regarding the supply of energy and increased efficiency of the future energy systems. Fuel cell technology is one such possible alternative. READ MORE

5. 3. Using Light to Probe Surface Electrochemical Processes

   Author : Weronica Linpe; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrochemistry; X-ray methods; In situ; synchrotron radiation; Ex situ; Single crystal; polycrystalline; aluminium oxide; Au; Pd; Pt; Sn; Super duplex stainless steel.; Fysicumarkivet A:2021:Linpé;

   Abstract : This thesis shows how various light-based in situ techniques can be used to follow different surface electrochemical processes such as electrochemical deposition into Nanoporous Anodic Aluminium Oxide (NP-AAO) templates and the surface structure of electrodes. Techniques based on both x-rays and visible light were used to follow surface structures and compositions, in situ. READ MORE

6. 4. Multiscale interfacial engineering of heterogeneous electrocatalysts : From structural design to mechanistic study

   Author : Shiqi Zhou; Jiayin Yuan; Martin Oschatz; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heterogeneous electrocatalysis; electronic structure; coordination environment; single-atom catalysts; strain effect; hydrogen evolution reaction kinetics; charge transfer; electrochemical CO^2 reduction; local enrichment; materialkemi; Materials Chemistry;

   Abstract : In a typical heterogeneous electrocatalytic reaction, for the given active sites, the electronic structure plays a determining role in electron transfer between the active sites and reactant molecules, which impacts the reaction efficiency. Besides the electronic properties of the electrocatalysts, the reaction interface at which the charge transfer occurs plays an important role in the reaction kinetics. READ MORE

7. 5. Electrocatalyst materials for low-temperature hydrogen fuel cells

   Author : Gerard Montserrat Siso; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
