A dedicated photoelectron spectroscopy instrument for studies of catalytic reactions at pressures exceeding 1 bar
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Here, we present a new high-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy system dedicated to probing catalytic reactions under realistic conditions at pressures exceeding 1 bar. The instrument builds around the concept of a “virtual cell” in which a gasflow is directed onto the sample surface creating a local high pressure on top of the sample. This allows the instrument to maintain a low pressure of a few mbars in the main chamber, while simultaneously keeping a local pressure of around 1 bar. Synchrotron radiation based grazing incidence photoemission within ± 5° is used to enhance the surface sensitivity in the experiment. The aperture, separating the high-pressure region from the differential pumping of the electron spectrometer, consists of multiple, evenly spaced, mm sized holes matching the footprint of the x-ray beam on the sample surface. As the photo-emitted electrons are subject to strong scattering in the gas phase and the resulting signal is therefore highly dependent on the sample to aperture distance, the latter is controlled with high precision using a fully integrated manipulator that allows for sample movement with step sizes of 10 nm between 0 and –5 mm with very low vibrational amplitude. The instrumental features allows acquisition of metallic bulk spectra at He pressures up to 2.5 bar and also allows for following C1s spectra under realistic gas mixtures of CO + H2with various temperatures up to 500°C. This capability opens for studies of catalytic reactions in operandi.

Application of Rare-Earth Doped Ceria and Natural Minerals for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Although solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology exhibits considerable advantages as compared to other energy conversion devices, e.g. high efficiency, low emission and fuel flexibility, its high operating temperature leads to rapid component degradation and has thus hampered commercialization. In recent years, intensive research interests have been devoted to lowering the operating temperature from the elevated temperature region (800-1,000 ℃) to intermediate or low-temperature range (<800 ℃). To achieve this goal, material selection plays a dominant role, involving improving the conductivity of existing electrolytes and developing new exploitable materials. This dissertation is focused on enhancing the ionic conductivity of rare-earth oxides (principally doped ceria) and exploring new candidate materials (e.g. natural minerals) for low temperature (LT) SOFCs.In this work, the scientific contributions can be divided into four aspects:i) To develop desirable superionic conductors, Sm3+/Pr3+/Nd3+ triple-doped ceria is designed to realize the desired doping for Sm3+ in bulk and Pr3+/Nd3+ at surface domains via a two-step wet chemical co-precipitation method. It exhibits high ionic conductivity, 0.125 S cm-1 at 600 ℃. The SOFC device using this material as electrolyte displays a high output power density of 710 mW cm-2 at 550 ℃.ii) To further clarify the individual effect of Pr3+ in the doped ceria, a single-element (Pr3+) doped ceria is studied, exhibiting a mixed electronic/ionic conduction property, capable of being employed as the core component of electrolyte-layer free solid oxide fuel cells (EFFCs).iii) To investigate various rare-earth doped-ceria materials in double- and triple-element doping solutions for LT-SOFCs, Sm3+/Ca2+ co-doped ceria and La3+/Pr3+/Nd3+ triple-doped ceria are synthesized and then further incorporated with semiconductors, e.g. La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ (LSCF) or Ni0.8Co0.15Al0.05Li-oxide (NCAL), to serve as a semiconducting-ionic conducting membrane in EFFCs.iv) To exploit the feasibility of natural mineral cuprospinel (CuFe2O4) as an alternative material for LT-SOFCs, three different types of fuel cell devices are fabricated and tested. The device using CuFe2O4 as cathode exhibits a maximum power density of 180 mW cm-2 with an open circuit voltage of 1.07 V at 550 °C, while the device using a homogeneous mixture membrane of CuFe2O4, Li2O-ZnO-Sm0.2Ce0.8O2 (LZSDC), and LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCAL) demonstrates an improved power output, 587 mW cm-2 under the same measurement conditions. Based on this work, a new triple-doping strategy is exploited to improve the ionic conductivity of doped ceria materials by surface- and bulk-doping methodology. Furthermore, the material developments of single-phase mixed electronic/ionic conducting doped ceria and doped ceria/semiconductor composites are realized and verify the feasibility of EFFC technology. Investigations on CuFe2O4 indicate the utility of natural minerals in developing cost-effective materials for LT-SOFCs.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia have overlapping neurologic symptoms particularly disabling fatigue. This has given rise to the question whether they are distinct central nervous system (CNS) entities or is one an extension of the other. To investigate this, we used unbiased quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to examine the most proximal fluid to the brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This was to ascertain if the proteome profile of one was the same or different from the other. We examined two separate groups of ME/CFS, one with (n=15) and one without (n=15) fibromyalgia. We quantified a total of 2,083 proteins using immunoaffinity depletion, tandem mass tag isobaric labeling and offline two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, including 1,789 that were quantified in all the CSF samples. ANOVA analysis did not yield any proteins with an adjusted p-value < 0.05. This supports the notion that ME/CFS and fibromyalgia as currently defined are not distinct entities.
