  2. 21. Corrosion of Ferritic Stainless Steels Used in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

    Author : Claudia Goebel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SOFC; Corrosion; Dual Atmosphere; Interconnect; Area Specific Resistance;

    Abstract : Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are energy conversion systems with clean emissions (depending on the fuel used) and high electrical efficiencies, which could potentially replace conventional conversion systems such as combustion engines. However, other issues, such as high costs and limited lifetime, must be resolved before widespread commercialization of SOFCs can be achieved. READ MORE

  4. 22. Luminescent Polymer Films in Layered Devices : A Theoretical and Experimental Study on Light Emission from Polymer-based Devices

    Author : Thomas Granlund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns optical modelling and characterisation of thin film layered structures, including luminescent conjugated polymers, with respect to the emission properties. Included in the study were three different types of devices: Organic light-emitting diodes, microcavities and half cavities. READ MORE

  5. 23. Synthesis and Modification of Conjugated Materials for Polymer Solar Cells

    Author : Zandra George; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymer interlayer; polymer solar cells; stability; conjugated polymers; fullerene derivatives;

    Abstract : Polymer solar cells have emerged as a promising alternative to silicon based solar cells. One of the advantages of polymer solar cells is the possibility to use roll-to-roll techniques for large-scale device production. However, in order to fully utilize this technique, several issues need to be resolved. READ MORE

  6. 24. Insights into Li-ion Battery and Stainless Steel Interfaces Using Refined Photoelectron Spectroscopy Methodology

    Author : Sara Malmgren; Kristina Edström; Håkan Rensmo; Daniel Abraham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : If sacrificing some of its material to form a passivating layer at the surface, materials may expand the range of environments where they can be used and further material degradation can decrease. This thesis aims to contribute with insights into passivating layers on especially Li-ion battery anodes (solid electrolyte interphase, SEI) but also on stainless steels, as well as the non-passivating Li-ion battery cathode/electrolyte interface layers (solid permeable interface, SPI).

  7. 25. Characterization of metal plasma streams from arc discharges in a reactive environment

    Author : Johanna Rosén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Alumina is a material used in many applications mainly due to its chemical inertness and wear resistance at high temperatures. Despite this, the understanding of alumina thin films is not satisfactory, as can be concluded from the diverging material properties reported in the literature. READ MORE
