  2. 1. Structure, Bonding and Chemistry of Water and Hydroxyl on Transition Metal Surfaces

    Author : Klas Andersson; Anders Nilsson; Falko Netzer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; core-level spectroscopy; surface chemistry; water; hydroxyl; metal surfaces; adsorption; structure; hydrogen bonding; Chemical physics; Kemisk fysik;

    Abstract : The structure, bonding and chemistry of water and hydroxyl on metal surfaces are presented. Synchrotron based x-ray photoelectron- and x-ray absorption spectroscopy along with density functional theory calculations mainly form the basis of the results. READ MORE

  4. 2. Catalytic Water Production from First-Principles Calculations

    Author : Gustav Karlberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; platinum; Monte Carlo; first-principles; hydroxyl; transition metals; density functional theory DFT ; Metropolis; oxygen; water; water production reaction; hydrogen;

    Abstract : The main subject of this thesis is the catalytic water production reaction on metal surfaces. This reaction is of great current interest due to its importance in fuel cells, a clean and efficient way to convert chemical energy into electrical. READ MORE

  5. 3. Laser Diagnostics of HCCI and Partially Premixed Combustion

    Author : Leif Hildingsson; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; low temperature combustion; Motorer; Motors and propulsion systems; Teknik; Technological sciences; PIV; in-cylinder flow structures; hydroxyl; OH; partially-oxidized fuel; formaldehyde; HCOH; LIF; diesel combustion; partially premixed combustion; PPC; HCCI; framdrivningssystem;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis deals with measuring in-cylinder combustion species and events using different laser-based diagnostic methods. A variety of engine operating modes, like HCCI and partially premixed diesel combustion, have been investigated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Water-Metal Surfaces : Insights from core-level spectroscopy and density functional theory

    Author : Theanne Schiros; Anders Nilsson; John Hemminger; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : water; hydroxyl; metal; surfaces; x-ray spectroscopy; density functional theory; bonding; fuel cell; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Abstract : Computational methods are combined with synchrotron-based techniques to analyze the structure and bonding of water and water plus hydroxyl at metal surfaces under UHV and at near-ambient conditions. Water-metal interaction plays a crucial role in a multitude of cosmic, atmospheric and biological phenomena as well as heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry and corrosion. READ MORE
