  1. 1. Time to ignition for wood covered with ZnO : A laboratory and theoretical study if ZnO can enhance time to ignition for wood exposed to radiation in the cone calorimeter

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Olina Öhrn; [2023]
    Keywords : ZnO; zinc oxide; cone calorimeter; wood; reaction-to-fire;

    Abstract : In recent years, interest in sustainability and being environmentally friendly has increased. Wood is a durable and renewable building material, which is becoming more common in the constructions industry. In 2002, the government in Sweden adopted a national strategy to promote an increased use of wood in buildings. READ MORE

    Abstract : During the global pandemic of coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, the world was desperately searching for simpler yet more effective solutions to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Since no one was prepared for the fast spread of such a contagious virus, there was a shortage of proper protective solutions to stop the spread. READ MORE

  4. 3. Prussian White In Sodium- Ion Batteries : An evaluation of organic and inorganic coatings on active material particles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Philip Jansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Sodium-ion batteries; Prussian White; Coating; Surface engineering; Zinc oxide; Polyaniline; Natriumjonbatterier; Berlinervitt; Beläggning; Ytmodifiering; Zinkoxid; Polyanilin;

    Abstract : Emerging markets in electrochemical energy storage, such as stationary grid storage, coupled with future concerns over the availability of lithium, places sodium-ion battery (SIB) technologies at a unique position to enter the market as a commercially viable alternative. Current shortcomings in the performance of cathode materials in SIBs would necessarily need to be addressed if this technology is to compete with existing commercial lithium-ion battery counterparts.

  5. 4. 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.

  6. 5. Development of corrosion resistant coatings using natural biopolymer and pollen

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Alessandro Armani; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Corrosion is a mechanism that highly reduces the lifetime of metals in different environments, especially in water or moisture environment. The worldwide maintenance cost due to corrosion is estimated in billions of dollars per year, and actual solutions in terms of coating usually contains toxic or environmentally harmful species.
