  1. 1. Lignin- and PAN-based carbon fibres as negative electrodes for alkali-ion batteries

    Author : Kevin Peuvot; Göran Lindbergh; Dan Zenkert; Enn Lust; KTH; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hard carbon; lithium-ion batteries; sodium-ion batteries; potassium-ion batteries; lignin-based carbon fibres; PAN-based carbon fibres; free-standing electrodes; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The development of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) have accelerated since they can now reach similar gravimetric energy densities as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) but with a lower environmental impact. Hard carbon is the most common negative electrode for SIBs and KIBs and can be made from renewable resources such as lignin. READ MORE

  2. 2. Assessing the future environmental impact of lignin-based and recycled carbon fibres in composites using life cycle assessment

    Author : Frida Hermansson; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; recycling; lignin; prospective; carbon fibres; environmental assessment; bio based; LCA;

    Abstract : Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are composite materials that are gaining attention for their lightweighting and strengthening properties in a wide range of applications. However, using them instead of conventional materials (such as steel or other composites) does not automatically lead to a decrease in life cycle climate impact or energy use. READ MORE

  3. 3. Carbon Fibres from Kraft Lignin

    Author : Ida Norberg; Monica Ek; Elisabeth Sjöholm; Göran Gellerstedt; Falk Liebner; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Kraft lignin has a high potential for use in more valuable applications than its current use as fuel in pulp mills and integrated pulp and paper mills. The possibility of using kraft lignin, a green material with a carbon content of more than 60 %, for the manufacturing of carbon fibres was investigated in this thesis. READ MORE

  4. 4. Carbon Fibres for Multifunctional Lithium-Ion Batteries

    Author : Johan Hagberg; Göran Lindbergh; Dan Zenkert; Juan Vilatela; KTH; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The transportation industry today faces many challenges because of the rapid movement towards electrification. One major challenge is the weight of the battery, which limits the effectiveness of the vehicles. READ MORE

  5. 5. Technical cost modelling and efficient design of lightweight composites in structural applications

    Author : Mathilda Karlsson Hagnell; Malin Åkermo; Dan Zenkert; Gerhard Ziegmann; KTH; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Technical cost modelling; composite materials; carbon fibre; lightweight design; optimization; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : A lightweight transport design reduces fuel costs and emissions and can be achieved through the use of fibre-reinforced composite materials. Although lightweight, the composite raw material can be expensive and the sequential component production challenging and costly. READ MORE
