  1. 1. Interfacial Dynamics at Surface Modified Molecular/Perovskite Solar Cells : How measurements are made to understand solar cell stability

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Benjamin Verbeek; [2023]
    Keywords : perovskite; solar cell; solar; energy; XPS; synchrotron;

    Abstract : Humanity has great energy demands, and must simultaneously combat climate change by curbing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Perovskite solar cells (PSC) provide a low-carbon energy source, at lower production costs than traditional silicon-based solar cells. PSC's suffer some issues with long-term stability. READ MORE

    Keywords : Alpha-iron; Chromium carbide; Cr7C3; Fe; Theoretical investigation; Orthorhombic; X-ray diffraction pattern; XRD; VASP; VESTA; Body-centered-cubic; Ferrite; Density functional theory; DFT; Surface relaxation; Simulation; Calculation; Energy relaxation; Slab models; Coherency; Surface energy; Interfacial energy; Alfa-järn; Kromkarbid; Cr7C3; Fe; Teoretisk undersökning; Ortorombisk; Röntgendiffraktion; XRD; VASP; VESTA; Ytenergi; Koherent; Simulering; Beräkning; Järnkarbid; DFT; Täthetsfunktionalanalys;

    Abstract : This master thesis presents a theoretical investigation of the energy and stability of interfaces in iron-carbide compounds, specifically focusing on the α-Fe/Cr7C3 system. The study aims to fill the gap in knowledge regarding the surface energetics of these interfaces using Density Functional Theory (DFT). READ MORE

  4. 3. Precipitation behavior of the super austenitic stainless steel SANICRO® 35 and the effect on impact toughness and pitting corrosion resistance

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Shunyi Li; [2022]
    Keywords : Super austenitic stainless steel; solid phase transformation; TTT diagram; impact toughness; critical pitting temperature; TC PRISMA simulation; Superaustenitiskt rostfritt stål; fastfasomvandling; TTT-diagram; slaghållfasthet; kritisk punktfrätningstemperatur; TC PRISMA simulering;

    Abstract : This research extended the knowledge of the solid phase transformation and the resulting influence on impact toughness and pitting corrosion resistance in super austenitic stainless steel (SASS) SANICRO® 35. A time-temperature-transformation diagram (TTT diagram) was assembled by performing isothermal heat treatments in the temperature range of 650-1050 °C for different periods of time, ranging from 5 min to 500 min.

  5. 4. Dendrite suppression during electrodeposition on lithium metal through molecular level design

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Lukas Lekberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Dendrite; Density functional theory; Solid lithium battery;

    Abstract : Här undersöks en strategi som behandlar dendrittillväxt på en solid litiumanod i ett litiumbatteri. Med hjälp av täthetfunktionalsteori adsorberades fyra flytande kristaller på litiumytan vilket ledde till en gränsskiktsstabilisering. Denna stabilisering har i en tidigare rapport länkats till dendrittillväxt i en fasfältsmodell. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a Method to Predict the Adhesion of Industrial Paint Coating

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Akheen Sadik; [2022]
    Keywords : Contact angle technique; optical tensiometer; paint coating; adhesion promoter; silane; kontaktvinkel; optisk tensiometer; ytbehandling; adhesion; silan;

    Abstract : I samarbete med Sherwin-Williams AB, utvecklades en metod med kontaktvinkelmätning för att teoretiskt uppskatta vätbarhet och vidhäftningsförmåga av industriella färger på stålsubstrat. Optisk tensiometer och Youngs ekvation kombinerat med OWRK beräkningsmodell användes för att bestämma ytenergier. READ MORE
