  1. 1. Stability improvement to a ruthenium catalyst for partial oxidation of methane

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Melker Axelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : catalysis; reaction engineering; kinetics; partial oxidation; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPOM) is an energy-efficient alternative to steam reforming, the currently prevailing method for energy production from natural gas. Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering AB has developed a catalyst for the partial oxidation of methane into syngas, for use in solid oxide fuel cells. READ MORE

  3. 2. Metals for energy storage : For hydrogen and power generation

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Konstruktionsmaterial

    Author : Oscar Torsteinsrud; Mattias Reijm; [2023]
    Keywords : Metals; Energy Storage; Round Trip Efficiency; Aluminum; Boron; Magnesium; Silicon; Zinc;

    Abstract : With an increase in energy demand and a transition from conventional fossil-driven energy generation, the world is facing a major challenge. This transition implies more intermittent energy sources whose reliance varies widely with time. To deal with this challenge, energy storage is one part of the solution. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation of the Microstructure of Plastically Deformed Cemented Carbide

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Felicia Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During machining operation, cemented carbide tools are exposed to high loads and temperatures, which eventually leads to plastic deformation of the tool material. The aim of this work was to investigate if the microstructures of creep deformed micro grain cemented carbides can be linked to alloying elements and mechanical properties. READ MORE

  5. 4. Digging Deeper: Exploring Roads to Inclusive Development Through Mine Closure Policy and Practices in the Dominican Republic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Bianca Terrero Vega; [2023]
    Keywords : mine closure; inclusive development; mineral governance; community engagement; energy transition metals; just transitions.; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Mining operations have significant environmental and social impacts, including ecosystem fragmentation, biodiversity loss, pollution, and social issues such as low wages and unsafe working conditions. Despite these negative effects, mining plays a crucial role in the transition to low-carbon technologies and the demand for energy transition minerals is expected to surge. READ MORE

  6. 5. Tuning Photovoltaic Properties of Two-dimensional Molybdenum Disulfide by Alloying: An ab initio study

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Mochen Li; [2023]
    Keywords : Photovoltaic; Molybdenum disulfide; Absorption coefficient; ab initio material design; Fotovoltaisk; Molybdendisulfid; Absorptionskoefficient; ab initio materialdesign;

    Abstract : Addressing the urgent need for innovative energy solutions amidst increasing environmental concerns, the focus on photovoltaic solar cells is intensifying. Currently limited by the Shockley-Queisser limit, conventional silicon-based solar cells offer a maximum power conversion efficiency of 32%. READ MORE
