2. 1. Double Layer Forces: the Role of Molecular Solvents

   Author : Luis Pegado; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dielectric continuum model; molecular solvent; Stockmayer fluid; electrical double layer; ion-ion correlations; Monte Carlo simulations; thermodynamic modeling; pressure curves; interaction free energy; packing effects;

   Abstract : The dielectric continuum model has rightfully been and continues to be a major workhorse for theory and modelling in Surface and Colloid Chemistry. Due to the implicit description of water, entering only as a scaling constant for charge-charge interactions, one would not expect it to work for short distances. READ MORE

4. 2. Low-Cost, Environmentally Friendly Electric Double-Layer Capacitors : Concept, Materials and Production

   Author : Britta Andres; Håkan Olin; Christina Dahlström; Jonas Örtegren; Renyun Zhang; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electric Double-Layer Capacitor; Graphite; Cellulose Nanofibers; Large-Scale; Mass Balancing; Metal-Free;

   Abstract : Today’s society is currently performing an exit from fossilfuel energy sources. The change to sustainable alternativesrequires inexpensive and environmentally friendly energy storagedevices. However, most current devices contain expensive,rare or toxic materials. These materials must be replaced bylow-cost, abundant, nontoxic components. READ MORE

The thesis also presents a novel method of characterization of CVD graphene grain boundary based defects. READ MORE

6. 4. Electro-Interfacial Composition Control by Ionic Liquid Technology : Nanostructure, Self-Assembly, and Friction

   Author : Sichao Li; Mark W. Rutland; Sergei Glavatskih; Nicholas Spencer; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionic liquids; electrical double layer; self-assembly; electro-interfacial structure; tribotronics; supercapacitors; friction; lubrication; Jonvätskor; elektriskt dubbelskikt; självassociering; gränsskiktselektrostruktur; tribotronik; superkondensatorer; friktion; smörjning; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Given the potential of ionic liquids (ILs) for batteries, supercapacitors and advanced lubricants, it is crucial to understand how electric fields affect the interfacial behaviour in IL-solvent systems and the intricate relationship between nanostructure and tribotronic properties. This thesis investigates the structural and compositional changes of ILs with different solvents at electrified interfaces. READ MORE

7. 5. Molecular Insight into Ion-Specific Interactions : Vibrational Sum Frequency Study of the Carboxylic Acid Moiety

   Author : Adrien Sthoer; Eric Tyrode; Paul Cremer; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; specific ion effects; carboxylic acid; fatty acid Langmuir monolayer; vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy; VSFS; Electrical double layer;

   Abstract : Ion specific effects at charged interfaces find numerous applications in colloidal sciences and play a vital role in many biological processes. Despite having been studied for over a century, starting with the work of F. Hofmeister in the 1880s, a comprehensive molecular  understanding remains elusive. READ MORE
