The growth of epitaxial graphene on SiC has been identified as one of the most promising techniques to produce graphene for electronic applications. In this paper, we present a systematic study of the electronic and structural properties of large-area quasifree standing epitaxial monolayer graphene grown on top of the SiC(0001) surface. For this purpose, we combine the thermal treatment of SiC in

Waste incineration bottom ash fine fraction contains a significant amount of aluminium, but previous works have shown that current recovery options based on standard on-step Eddy Current Separation (ECS) have limited efficiency. In this paper, we evaluated the improvement in the efficiency of ECS by using an additional step of crushing and sieving. The efficiency of metallic Al recovery was quanti

Ammonia (NH3) has been identified as a potential hydrogen-carrier fuel with no carbon emissions. Non-intrusive in-situ NH3 diagnostic technique is of great interest. In this work, femtosecond two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (fs-TPLIF) was demonstrated in NH3/N2 mixtures to achieve NH3 measurements. A femtosecond laser at 305 nm was used for two-photon excitation of NH3 to its excited state (

The compounds (a) (H3O)2[Mo6Cl8 Cl6]·7H2O, (b) (H3O)2[Mo6 Cl8Br6]·6H2O and (c) (H3O)2[Mo6 Cl8I6].6H2O were synthesized from MoCl2 and the corresponding halide acid. The structures were determined by X-ray diffraction and refined in the monoclinic space groups, (a) C2/c and for (b) and (c) P21/a. The cell parameters were for (a), a = 17.3607(2), b = 9.1351(7), c = 18.6300(2) Å and β = 98.13(1)°, (b

Three new cobalt complexes of the general formula [CoIII(L)Cl]2+, where L is one of five pentadentate nitrogen-donor ligands based on the N4Py framework, have been synthesized and characterized fully by UV−visible and NMR spectroscopies, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESI-MS), X-ray crystallography, and electrochemistry. The electrocatalytic capabilities of these comp

In this paper, a novel membrane reactor (MR) for methanol steam reforming is modeled to produce fuel cell grade hydrogen, which can be used as the inlet fuel for a later developed 500-W horizon polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) stack. The backpropagation (BP) neural network algorithm is employed to develop the mapping relation model between the MR's prime operational parameters and fuel cell ou

Utvecklingen av mer energieffektiva byggnader handlar idag till stor del om att använda mindre energi än gällande byggnormskrav. Ett sätt att bemöta de ständigt hårdare energikraven är att utnyttja byggnaders värmelagrande förmåga. För att kunna utnyttja en byggnads värmelagringsförmåga optimalt bör en tung stomme bestående av tegel, lättbetong, betong eller annat stenmaterial väljas, då dessa harThe development of more energy-efficient buildings is today mostly a matter of using less energy than current building norms requirements. A means of responding to the ever-tighter energy requirements is to make use of the energy-storing ability. In order to fully utilize a building's energy-storing ability, a heavy frame composed of brick, concrete, lightweight concrete or other stone materia

The steel industry emits 2,400–2,713 Mt CO2 and 12 Mt of fugitive methane globally each year, yet progress towards decarbonization has been limited. In this Review, we examine the potential, feasibility and barriers to decarbonization of the steel sector. The blast furnace–basic oxygen furnace (BF–BOF) accounts for ~72% of global steel production and has the highest carbon emission intensity of ex

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet som presenteras i denna avhandling handlar om att utveckla nya processer för att producera gasformiga biobränslen som är mer energieffektiva än de som används idag. Genom att göra processerna mer energieffektiva kan kostnaden för att producera biobränslen minskas. En lägre produktionskostnad för biobränslet gör det lättare att ersätta fossila bränslen med förnyeReplacing fossil fuels with biofuels is one way of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, thus decreasing our impact on the global climate. For this to be a viable option, several production routes are needed, as no single option can fully replace fossil fuels. One way of making biofuels more competitive with fossil fuels is by reducing the production cost. As most of the p

Two-dimensional direct numerical simulation (2-D DNS) is used to investigate the effect of turbulence intensity and composition stratification on H2/air mixture auto-ignition in a constant volume enclosure relevant to homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines. Different turbulence levels, composition fluctuations, EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) ratios, initial pressure, domain length

Popular Abstract in English Popular Science Abstract In our daily routines, we use products and come across applications that involve mixtures of polymers and small amphiphilic molecules in water, for example detergents, pharmaceutics, foodstuffs, shampoos and paints. Polymers are very large molecules formed by smaller units that are repeated and connected. Amphiphilic molecules contain both one pThe research described in this thesis aims to understand the interactions between cationic poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers and small oppositely charged amphiphiles at the solid-liquid and air-liquid interfaces in relation to the bulk solution behavior. There is high interest in PAMAM dendrimers because they are well-defined polymers with a hierarchical architecture which makes them promising m
