2. 1. Ionic liquids : The solid-liquid interface and surface forces

   Author : Nicklas Hjalmarsson; Mark W Rutland; Rob Atkin; Enrico Gnecco; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ionic liquids; solid-liquid interface; surface forces; nanotribology; atomic force microscopy; quartz crystal microbalance; Jonvätskor; gränsskiktet mellan fasta ytor och vätskor; ytkrafter; nanotribologi; atomkraftsmikroskopi; kvartskristallmikrovåg; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Ionic liquids (ILs) present new approaches for controlling interactions at the solid-liquid interface. ILs are defined as liquids consisting of bulky and asymmetric ions, with a melting point below 373 K. Owing to their amphiphilic character they are powerful solvents but also possess other interesting properties. READ MORE

   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ionic liquid; lubrication technology; tribology; boundary lubrication; tribofilm; friction; wear; physico-chemical interaction; diffusion NMR; jonisk vätska; smörjteknik; tribologi; gränsskiktssmörjning; tribofilm; friktion; slitage; fysikalisk-kemisk interaktion; NMR diffusometri; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : In this thesis ionic liquids (ILs) are investigated as prospective candidates for lubrication. Three custom synthesized phosphonium orthoborate type ILs were extensively studied from the prospective of molecular structuring both in bulk and at the interface and from the prospective of their lubricating performance as neat lubricants and as additives in oils.

5. 3. Exploring The Versatility Of Ionic Liquids : From fundamental understanding to materials inspired from ionic liquids

   Author : Olivier Renier; Anja-Verena Mudring; Lydie Viau; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionic liquids; liquid crystals; DSSC; molecular design; Luminescent materials; anhydrous compounds; phase transition; complex coordination; materialkemi; Materials Chemistry;

   Abstract : Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained popularity as “green” and safe replacements for conventional organic solvents. They are defined as ionic salts displaying a melting point below 100 °C. Some of their unique characteristics also include negligible vapour pressure, good electrical conductivity as well as good thermal and chemical stability. READ MORE

6. 4. Flavins as Biomimetic Catalysts for Sulfoxidation by H2O2 : Catalyst Immobilization in Ionic Liquid for H2O2 Oxidations

   Author : Auri Lindén; Jan-Erling Bäckvall; Peter Somfai; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biomimetic; oxidation; catalysis; ionic liquid; hydrogen peroxide; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the development of catalytic oxidation reactions utilizing hydrogen peroxide as terminal oxidant. The main focus has been to find flavin catalysts that are easy to handle and stable to store but still able to perform the desired reaction. READ MORE

7. 5. Ionic Liquid Electrolytes for Photoelectrochemical Solar Cells

   Author : Heléne Gamstedt; Lars A. Kloo; Michael Grätzel; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionic liquid electrolytes; Photoelectrochemical solar cells; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : Potential electrolytes for dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical solar cells have been synthesized and their applicability has been investigated. Different experimental techniques were used in order to characterize the synthesized electrolytes, such as elemental analysis, electrospray ionisation/mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, dynamic viscosity measurements, as well as impedance, Raman and NMR spectroscopy.
