  2. 16. The Electrochemistry of LiNi0.5-xMn1.5+xO4-δ in Li-ion Batteries : Structure, Side-reactions and Cross-talk

    Author : Burak Aktekin; Kristina Edström; Daniel Brandell; Wolfgang Zipprich; Fernanda Lodi Marzano; Christian Masquelier; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LNMO; High-voltage spinel; FEC; Cross-talk; Cation ordering; Oxygen deficiency; Anionic redox; Chemistry with specialization in Inorganic Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : The use of Li-ion batteries in portable electronic products is today widespread and on-going research is extensively dedicated to improve their performance and energy density for use in electric vehicles. The largest contribution to the overall cell weight comes from the positive electrode material, and improvements regarding this component thereby render a high potential for the development of these types of batteries.

  4. 17. Disordered matter: From Ionic Glasses to Proteins

    Author : Charbel Tengroth; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; liquid-glass transition; PPG; disorder; B2O3; neutron scattering; hemoglobin; time-resolved resonance Raman scattering; CKN;

    Abstract : Understanding the glassy state is regarded as one of the ten most important questions in physics in the 21st century [1]. This thesis deals with structure and dynamics of a few model disordered systems ranging from an ionic glass to proteins. The structure of an ionic liquid, Ca0.4K0. READ MORE

  5. 18. Fighting microbial infections with force fields: Evaluating conformational ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins

    Author : Stephanie Jephthah; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular dynamics; force field; Monte Carlo; coarse-grained modeling; simulation; intrinsically disordered protein; histatin 5; small-angle x-ray scattering; circular dichroism; atomistic MD simulations; all-atom protein models;

    Abstract : The main goal of this compilation thesis has been to investigate the conformational ensemble of the intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) histatin 5 by using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques including, but not limited to, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and coarse-grained Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Histatin 5 is a peptide of particular interest for two reasons. READ MORE

    Abstract : Clay minerals consist of clay platelets, which are anisotropic in both size and charge, and these can form a lamellar structure depending on the size, making it a seemingly perfect model system for an electrical double layer. The situation is however, from a structural point, slightly less ideal. READ MORE

  7. 20. Dynamics of Disordered Materials in Confined Geometries

    Author : Christer Svanberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polymer film; glass transition; confinement; polymer gel; dynamics; dielectric spectroscopy; gel electrolytes; relaxation; photon correlation; cooperativity;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with effects of geometrical confinement on dynamics in disordered materials in the nanoscopic range. Of particular interest is the dynamics around the liquid to glass transition. Two systems have been investigated: thin polymer films and polymer gels. READ MORE
