  1. 1. Computational study of the photophysical properties of two related photosensitizer proteins

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Benjamin Fégeant; [2023]
    Keywords : Photosensitizer proteins; QM MM; photophysics; molecular dynamics; computational protocol for protein preparation; Fotosensibiliserande proteiner; QM MM; fotofysik; molekylär dynamik; beräkningsprotokoll för förberedelser av proteiner;

    Abstract : Den ökande koldioxidhalten i atmosfären har lett till ett ökat intresse för användning av solljus, ett exempel är inom kemi. Att använda ljus i kemi kan leda till nya och intressanta kemiska reaktioner och kan tillämpas i användningsområden som exempelvis fotokatalys och fotovoltaik. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Demonstration and investigation of hydrogen production by water splitting through plasmon assisted photocatalysis involving a cobalt catalyst.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fysikalisk kemi

    Author : Amal Mendalz; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Plasmonic heterostructures are of great interest within the industry and in the academia owing to theirapplications in photovoltaics and photocatalysis. The Localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) leading to an intensification of the electromagnetic (EM) field on the surface of the plasmonic nanoparticles results in an efficient absorption of light over miniscule thickness of the material.

  5. 4. Photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide thin films deposited with high power impulse magnetron sputtering

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Victor Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : Photocatalysis; Titanium dioxide; Thin film; HiPIMS; Sputtering; Stearic acid;

    Abstract : High power impulse magnetron sputtering has shown a lot of promise as a way of depositing photocatalytic thin films of titanium dioxide at low temperatures, however, the films deposited are often amorphous and display uncertain photocatalytic abilities. This thesis explores the deposition and characterization of photocatalytic thin films deposited with high power impulse magnetron sputtering. READ MORE

  6. 5. Enhancing the degradation rate of microplastics and organizing a study visit about sustainability

    University essay from KTH/Lärande

    Author : Marianne Al-Ghorabi; [2020]
    Keywords : Accommodation; assimilation; Fenton reaction; microplastics; polypropylene; polystyrene; proximal development zone; study visit; visible light photocatalysis; zinc oxide nanorods; Ackommodation; assimilation; den proximala utvecklingszonen; Fenton reaktion; fotokatalys med synligt ljus; mikroplast; polypropalen; polystyren; studiebesök; zinkoxid nanorör.;

    Abstract : Microplastics take hundreds to thousands of years to degrade in nature, and pose a threat to the environment. A photocatalytical degradation method have been developed to take advantage of solar light to degrade microplastics, however it takes several months to degrade microplastics with the process.
