(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)A noble metal-free catalyst based on N-doped carbon nanofibers supported on graphite (N-CNF1 ) was employed for the oxygen reduction at the cathode of a Nafion PEMFC with a commercial Pt/C anode. Obtained performance in ... -
Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanofibers as Pt-Free Catalyst in the Oxygen Reduction Reaction - A study of iron nanoparticles as N-CNF catalyst on different supports
(Master thesis, 2015)A new approach was tested as nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (N-CNFs) were synthesized by using uniformly sized iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) on two different support as their growth catalyst. The N-CNFs are designed as a ... -
Nitrogen-doped Carbon Nanofibers for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:78, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Summary of thesis: One of the major obstacles for the commercialization of fuel cells is the necessity for high cost noble metals to facilitate the electrode reactions. Especially the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is ... -
Nitrogen-doped Carbon Nanofibers for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction: Importance of the Iron Growth Catalyst Phase
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A systematic evaluation of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (N-CNFs) has been performed by tuning the properties of the N-CNFs by using chemical vapor deposition. Analysis of the ... -
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers on expanded graphite as oxygen reduction electrocatalysts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)A single-step chemical vapor deposition method using simple gaseous precursors was employed to grow nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers from Fe and Ni particles on the surface of expanded graphite (N-CNF/EG). Due to the high ... -
Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon-Assisted One‐pot Tandem Reaction for Vinyl Chloride Production via Ethylene Oxychlorination
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A bifunctional catalyst comprising CuCl2/Al2O3 and nitrogen‐doped carbon was developed for an efficient one‐pot ethylene oxychlorination process to produce vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) up to 76 % yield at 250 °C and under ... -
NMR as a tool to follow destabilization of water-in-oil emulsions
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:216, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Due to depletion of conventional sources and increasing demand for crude oil, the last years have shown a shift towards the exploitation of heavier and technologically more difficult feedstocks. This shift of focus means ... -
