Crystalline magnesium stearate has been extensively used as an additive in pharmaceutical and other industries for decades. However, the lack of suitably large crystals has hindered the determination of the crystal structure and thereby a more fundamental understanding of the structure-functionality relationship. Presented here is the structure of magnesium stearate trihydrate as determined from X
Solvent effects on the decomposition of formic acid over a Co(111) surface were studied via density functional theory calculations combined with a continuum implicit solvation model. The solvents used here were water, methanol, and acetone. The adsorption energies of key intermediates, the activation barriers and the rate and equilibrium constants of various elementary reactions in vacuum and in t
In this study, the catalytic activity of wood-based catalysts produced by different activation methods was evaluated for the decomposition of hydrogen iodide (HI) as part of the sulfur-iodine hydrogen production process. The wood-based activated carbon catalysts showed strong improvement in the HI conversion compared to a blank, especially for carbon catalysts activated using H3PO4. Proximate anal
The ground volume is penetrated by a duct system for injection and extraction of heat. The heat transfer properties between the ground and such a system is here characterized by a heat transfer length. The heat exchange between the soil and the ducts is represented by a heat source/sink distribution in the storage region.
With countries across the world finding pathways to counter CO2 emissions, sustainable mobility has become a critical topic for leaders, policymakers, and industries. The development of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV’s) is seen as an important and effective way through which reliance on fossil fuels and thereby related CO2 emissions can be reduced. Statistics show that the number EV’s on the roads

The work in the group is in the general field of organotransition metal chemistry and the goal is to find and develop organometallic reactions with possible applications in catalysis. We use specialised synthetic techniques, including high-vacuum, Schlenk and glove box work. Structural characterisation is performed using mainly multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. In our work

Abstract Sedentary behavior is defined as sitting or lying with low energy expenditure. Humans in industrialized societies spend an increasing amount of time in sedentary behaviors every day. This has been associated with detrimental health outcomes. Despite a growing interest in the health effects of sedentary behavior at work, associations remain unclear, plausibly due to poor and diverse methodSedentary behavior is defined as sitting or lying with low energy expenditure.

The electric power system is undergoing a major change through the implementation of a large number of variable renewable energy sources (VRE), driven by the goal to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from electricity production. This transition increases the need for a more flexible and dynamic power system capable of maintaining voltage and frequency stability under changing operating conditions. U
Great investments are planned in the north of Sweden the coming years, not the least in the county of Norrbotten where the projects collectively are referred to as the green transition due to the focus on fossil-free techniques. But to be able to secure a sustainable energy supply and reach the goal set by the member states of the European Union of a carbon dioxide neutral union in 2050 the produc
A new hydrogen absorbing material has been discovered, ScNiAl, which can store 1.5 wt.% hydrogen reversibly. In this compound, hydrogen absorption is a two-step process; solid solution of hydrogen at temperatures below 180A degrees C and decomposition into ScH2 and NiAl at higher temperatures. Detailed analysis of the hydrogen absorption/desorption has been performed using in situ synchrotron radi
Emerging storage devices, particularly ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) memristors, offer a compelling solution for high-density storage as they form a type of non-charge based non-volatile storage capable of storing multiple bits in each device; however, their adoption is hindered by reliability concerns. This work addresses this by presenting a design and implementation of an efficient Error
