1. Multifunctional ice and snow repellent coatings for photovoltaic modules
University essay from Uppsala universitet/SolcellsteknikAbstract : Implementation of solar power by photovoltaic modules in cold climates, such as northern Sweden, implies several challenges. Ice and snow coverage not only leads to reduction in energy production due to shading, but it also puts equipment at risk from additional weight. READ MORE

2. Investigating Yttrium Ruthenate Pyrochlore as an Anodic Electrocatalyst in Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : As the energy transition progresses, the demand for green storage solutions is ever-increasing. Hydrogen storage is receiving increased interest and support due to its promising sustainability and flexibility. Proton-exchange, or polymer electrolyte, membrane (PEM) electrolyzers are a key technology supporting hydrogen storage systems. READ MORE

4. A study of optical and structural properties of spin-coated V2O3 thin films on sapphire substrates
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiAbstract : Many transition metal oxides exhibit a Metal-Insulator Transition (MIT). This is an interesting phenomenon where the material undergoes a structural phase transition, and the electronic charge is redistributed in the crystal lattice. READ MORE

5. Investigation of Methods to Improve PZT Sol-Gel Deposition Process for Energy Harvesting Applications
University essay from KTH/Hälsoinformatik och logistikAbstract : The purpose of this work was to investigate ways to modify Silex sol-gel deposition of PZT (PbZrxTi(1-x)O3, Lead Zirconate Titanate) in order to improve its properties for energy harvesting applications. A number of methods to improve the figure of merit for energy harvesting (FOM= e312/ε), cause self-polarization, increase lifetime, reduce cost, increase throughput or simplify processing were tested.
