1. Interaction of CO and methane with platinum, Low-temperature oxidation and sensor response mechanisms
Abstract : The aim of this thesis project was to increase the understanding of the mechanisms for low-temperature oxidation of carbon monoxide and methane over supported platinum catalysts. In situ spectroscopic methods together with mass spectrometry were used to study the catalysts during both steady state and transient conditions. READ MORE

3. Structure and Properties Investigations of the La2Co1+z(Ti1-xMgx)1-zO6 Perovskite System
Abstract : Perovskite based materials have great potentials for various energy applications and the search for new materials for uses in SOFCs has largely been concentrated to this class of compounds. In this search, we have studied perovskite phases in the system La2Co1+z(Ti1-xMgx)1-zO6, with 0 x 0.9 and z = 0.0, 0. READ MORE

5. The Bentonite Barrier - Swelling Properties, Redox Chemistry and Mineral Evolution
Abstract : Bentonite is planned for use as a buffer material in high-level radioactive waste repositories, where safety assessment is performed for very long periods (100-1000 ka). This thesis focuses on the swelling of smectites in liquid water, and analysis of bentonite from field experiments at Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, Sweden. READ MORE
