The UK government is legally bound to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 as part of its actions to address climate change. One prominent method of decarbonisation is carbon capture and storage (CCS), slated for deployment in two industrial clusters by the mid-2020s. Fossil fuel companies are the operator behind the rollout of this technology: given the historical reticence of these co
The anatase TiO2(101) surface and its interaction with water is an important topic in oxide surface chemistry. Firstly, it benchmarks the properties of the majority facet of TiO2 nanoparticles and, secondly, there is a controversy as to whether the water molecule adsorbs intact or deprotonates. We have addressed the adsorption of water on anatase TiO2(101) by synchrotron radiation photoelectron sp
Methanol steam reforming (MSR) is considered as an effective way to provide on-board hydrogen production technology for fuel cell applications. CuFe1.2Al.8O4 spinel catalyst was synthesized by sol–gel method and the chemical and physical properties were studied in-depth. X-ray diffraction, hydrogen-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), BET, and scanning electron microscopy were used to charac
A mechanical failure of a single component is sufficient to cause a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) breakdown. As an unfavorable issue for interfering the stable operation of SOFCs, thermal stress stemming from temperature gradient and mechanical mismatch can result in crack damage. Therefore, it is strongly significant to clarify the relationship of mechanical properties of the cell materials with dA mechanical failure of a single component is sufficient to cause a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) breakdown.

It has been concluded by geologists that a significant amount of hydrogen is stored as point defects in nominally anhydrous minerals. Determination of the amount of hydrogen bound in these minerals is a step towards determining the total water content of the earth mantle as well as comprehending its internal water cycle. The possibility to measure hydrogen in thin geological samples by elastic p-p
The onset of cellular instability in adiabatic H-2/O-2/N-2 premixed flames anchored to a heat-flux burner is investigated numerically. Both hydrodynamic instability and diffusional-thermal instability are shown to play an important role in the onset of cellular flames. The burner can effectively suppress cellular instability when the flames are close to the burner, otherwise the burner can suppres
Using alternative fuels like Natural Gas (NG) has shown good potentials on heavy duty engines. Heavy duty NG engines can be operated either lean or stoichiometric diluted with EGR. Extending Dilution limit has been identified as a beneficial strategy for increasing efficiency and decreasing emissions. However dilution limit is limited in these types of engines because of the lower burnings rate of
The investigations of light kaonic atoms offer the unique opportunity to perform experiments equivalent to scattering at vanishing relative energies, being their atomic binding energies in the keV range. This allows the determination of the hadron-nucleus interaction at threshold without the need of an extrapolation to zero relative energy. The energy shift and broadening of the lowest-lying state

There can be situations, for example if gas containers have been damaged in a vehicle crash, when the fire and rescue service would like to depressurize the gas containers through shooting with a civilian rifle. Modern high-pressure hydrogen containers are designed for a working pressure of 700 bars. This means that they have a very thick and strong shell made of composite material. At the same ti
(CHICSi) Celsius Heavy Ion Collaboration Si detector system is a high granularity, modular detector telescope array for operation around the cluster-jet target/circulating beam intersection of the CELSIUS storage ring at the The. Svedberg Laboratory in Uppsala, Sweden. It is able to provide identity and momentum vector of up to 100 charged particles and fragments from proton-nucleus and nucleus-nu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Biovätgas är en mycket energirik och förnyelsebar energikälla för bilar och elproduktion som genererar mycket lite av växthusgasen koldioxid. Vätgasen kan framställas av billiga råvaror såsom hushållsavfall, industriellt avfall och av lignocellulosa. Lignocellulossa är en komplex polymer som finns bland annat i olika träslag och gräs. Detta leder till att råvaropriset mA high substrate conversion efficiency is a prerequisite for an economically feasible biohydrogen production. Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is a strictly anaerobic extreme thermophilic bacterium that is able to convert the theoretical maximum of 4 mol/mol glucose to H2. It can grow and produce H2 on a broad spectrum of sugars ranging from monomers (hexoses and pentoses) to more complex suga
District heating and cooling systems distribute heat and cooling from a central location to residential and commercial buildings. Hot water, steam or cold water is produced at a central plant and distributed through a pipe network. These systems can integrate renewable energy sources like waste heat, geothermal energy, biomass, and renewable electricity. They are seen as a key component in reducin

In this master thesis, cold moderator flow concepts have been developed on behalf of the European Spallation Source, ESS AB in Lund. The function of the cold moderator is to slow down neutrons, generated in the spallation process. The moderation is done in liquid para-hydrogen at 15 bar and 17 K. Moderating neutrons is the primary function of the liquid hydrogen, but it also removes nuclear heat l
Världen är i ständig utveckling och den mest akuta frågan i vår tid, på ett globalt plan, är klimatkrisen. Vi behöver snabbt bygga ut och utveckla grön energiproduktion i Sverige, Europa och världen, för att ha en chans att undvika de värsta konsekvenser som just nu hotar vår planet. Vätgas har identifierats av EU och ett flertal länder globalt som en grundpelare i energitransitionen till ett foss
