  1. 1. Redox Materials in Hydrogen Production : Investigation of state-of-the-art redox materials in thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production via solar energy

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Saga Berneryd; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This bachelor thesis work has investigated different redox materials in 2-step thermochemical water splitting processes for solar-driven hydrogen production. Materials have been mapped out by their results from experimental activity and by the conditions the tests were conducted in. 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. Artificial photosynthesis - 4-Aminobenzoic acids effect on charge transfer in a photo catalytic system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

    Author : Simon Moberg; [2019]
    Keywords : artificial photosynthesis; aminobenzoic acid; charge transfer; plasmon; induced; plasmon induced; nanostructure; nanostructures; solar energy; nano particles; nano particle; artificiell fotosyntes; aminobensoesyra; laddningsöverföring; plasmon; inducerad; plasmoninducerad; nanostruktur; nanostrukturer; solenergi; nanopartiklar; nanopartikel;

    Abstract : Artificial photosynthesis is used to harvest solar energy and store it in the form of chemical bonds. The system of interest in this study does this by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gas through a plasmon assisted process, collective oscillations from free electron gas. READ MORE

  5. 4. Relation between hydrogen production and photosynthesis in the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alex Basu; [2015]
    Keywords : Bioenergy; biotechnology; solar fuels; hydrogen production;

    Abstract : The modernized world is over-consuming low-cost energy sources that strongly contributes to pollution and environmental stress. As a consequence, the interest for environmentally friendly alternatives has increased immensely. READ MORE
