• Geometrical flexibility of platinum nanoclusters: impacts on catalytic decomposition of ethylene glycol 

      Mahmoodinia, Mehdi; Trinh, Thuat; Åstrand, Per-Olof; Tran, Quang Khanh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Catalytic decomposition of ethylene glycol on the Pt13 cluster was studied as a model system for hydrogen production from a lignocellulosic material. Ethylene glycol was chosen as a starting material because of two reasons, ...
    • Insight into the role of excess hydroxide ions in silicate condensation reactions 

      Do, Tuong Ha; Tong, Hien Duy; Tran, Khanh-Quang; Meijer, Evert Jan; Trinh, Thuat (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The formation of silicate oligomers in the early stages is key to zeolite synthesis. The pH and the presence of hydroxide ions are important in regulating the reaction rate and the dominant species in solutions. This paper ...
    • Origin of anomalously stabilizing ice layers on methane gas hydrates near rock surface 

      Li, Yang; Corkery, Robert; Carretero-Palacios, Sol; Berland, Kristian; Esteso, Victoria; Fiedler, Johannes; Milton, Kimball A.; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Boström, Mathias (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Gas hydrates (GHs) in water close to freezing temperatures can be stabilised via the formation of ice layers. In a recent work [Boström et al., Astron. Astrophys., A54, 650, 2021], it was found that a surface region with ...
    • Seeking minimum entropy production for a tree-like flow-field in a fuel cell 

      Sauermoser, Marco; Kjelstrup, Signe; Kizilova, Nataliya; Pollet, Bruno; Flekkøy, Eirik Grude (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Common for tree-shaped, space-filling flow-field plates in polymer electrolyte fuel cells is their ability to distribute reactants uniformly across the membrane area, thereby avoiding excess concentration polarization or ...
    • van der Waals induced ice growth on partially melted ice nuclei in mist and fog 

      Boström, Mathias; Li, Y.; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Persson, Clas; Carretero-Palacios, S.; Malyi, O. I. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Ice nucleation and formation play pivotal roles across various domains, from environmental science to food engineering. However, the exact ice formation mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study introduces a ...
