  1. 1. Phase and Interface Design in Potential Earth-Abundant Multi-Component Photocatalysts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : David Llorens Rauret; [2022]
    Keywords : Facet control; in-situ TEM; nanoparticle heterostructures; phase transformation; transition metal phosphides; inorganic nanomaterials; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Transition metal phosphides are low-cost, earth-abundant semiconductors with promising properties for photocatalysis, including water-splitting. When combined with other semiconductors or noble metals in nanoparticles, their photocatalytic performance can be drastically enhanced. READ MORE

  3. 2. Tuning the composition of metallic nanoparticles for catalytic applications

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Anthony Ropp; [2021]
    Keywords : catalysis; nanoparticles; frustrated Lewis pairs; synthesis; core-shell;

    Abstract : Industries’ interest in nanomaterials is tremendous and catalysis is one of their applications. Catalysts allow reactions to occur under milder conditions, avoiding committing excessive heat or pressure to foster reactions. READ MORE

  4. 3. A model for heterogenic catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Elin Johannesson; [2020]
    Keywords : Carbon dioxide; methanol; heterogeneous catalysis; zinc oxide; computational chemistry; density functional theory;

    Abstract : Since our society became industrialised, the levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere have been steadily rising, to the point where it in early 2020 at is 413 ppm. The high concentration is causing several troubling effects worldwide because of the increase in mean temperature that it creates, which causes longer draughts, more severe floods, and rising seawater levels to name a few.

  5. 4. Combination of nanoparticles from polystyrene and the hormone 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in water.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Emma Nilsson; [2017]
    Keywords : water; nanoparticles; hormons; Plastic; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Plastic materials and synthetic hormones are found in aquatic environments globally. Plastic in water can degrade to nanoparticles (NP) with special characteristics, in the environment nanoparticles and hormones have a proven effect on wildlife. READ MORE

  6. 5. Plasmonic Effect of Metal Nanoparticles Deposited on Wide-Band Gap Metal Oxide Nanowire Substrate

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Mojtaba Gilzad Kohan; [2017]
    Keywords : plasmonic particles; nano wires; wide band gap semiconductors;

    Abstract : The application of nanowires (NWs) in solar cells (SCs) is of great interest due to their new promising aspects established in nanoelectronics. Semiconductors associated with plasmonic metal nanoparticles (NPs) such as Silver (Ag), Gold (Au) and Copper (Cu), show enhanced performance in solid state light absorbing SCs owing to plasmonic characteristic of noble metal NPs.
