  1. 16. Τοwards a Synthetic Tryptophan Aminotransferase

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

    Author : Kleomenis Tsimpos; [2017]
    Keywords : aminotransferase; biomimetic; catalysis; catalyst; molecular imprinting; molecularly imprinted polymer; transition state analogue.;

    Abstract : The synthesis and evaluation of a molecularly imprinted polymer has been undertaken using an oxazine-based tryptophanamide transition state analogue (TSA) as template. An efficient route to the synthesis of oxazine-based TSAs for the reaction of pyridoxamine and indole-3-pyruvic acid has been established, with yields of up to 80%. READ MORE

  2. 17. Investigation of Bismuth Iodine as Light Absorbing Materials for Solar Cell Applications: From Synthesis to XPS Characterisation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekyl- och kondenserade materiens fysik

    Author : Jonatan Fast; [2017]
    Keywords : Bismuth; Iodine; Light absorbing; Light absorbing materials; Solar; solar cell; Synthesis; XPS; Characterisation; synchrotron; energy; x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; perovskite;

    Abstract : During the last years perovskite materials have taken the photovoltaic community by storm, bringing promises of solar cells with efficiencies comparable to conventional silicon devices but at a lower price. However perovskite solar cells so far are facing two main obstacles, they are unstable in the presence of air, moisture and heat and they are usually toxic due to being based on lead-halide materials.

  3. 18. Development and simulation of an active target detector with GEM foil readout

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Elisabeth Rickert; [2017]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : At CERN, radioactive ion beams with energies of up to 10 MeV/u can be pro- duced by a newly commissioned post-accelerator, HIE-ISOLDE, which expands the possibilities for nuclear reaction studies. To investigate the collision properties of the ion beam with a target, an active gas–target detector is under development by the Reactions Group at the Nuclear Physics Division in Lund. READ MORE

  4. 19. Factors affecting the properties and behaviour of blockcopolymer micelles

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - BMC

    Author : Jakob Ovrén; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Polymers are of fundamental importance to our society and can befound in many different products. Block copolymers are polymerswhich are divided up into distinct blocks of two or more differentmonomers. Block copolymers with regions of difference in polarityare capable of self assembling into ordered systems. READ MORE

  5. 20. Investigation of novel, redox-active organic materials for lithium-ion and lithium-oxygen batteries

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturkemi

    Author : Antonia Kotronia; [2016]
    Keywords : lithium-ion; lithium-oxygen; organic electrode materials; organic catalysts;

    Abstract : This thesis encompasses the successful synthesis, characterization (NMR, IR, TGA) and electrochemical testing of novel, potentially redox-active organic materials. These were destined as electrodes for Li-organic cells and/or as catalysts for Li–O2 cells. READ MORE
