Hydrothermal carbonization of biomass for energy storage

This project explores the use of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) to convert biomass into carbon-rich materials suitable for energy storage applications. By processing wet biomass under moderate temperature and pressure in a water-based environment, HTC produces hydrochar with tunable porosity, conductivity, and surface chemistry. The research focuses on optimizing process parameters to tailor the properties of […]

Modelling of conductive polymer-redox polymer supercapacitors

The Laboratory of Organic Electronics is developing cellulose base conductive polymer-redox polymer supercapacitors for large scale energy storage. This project focus on the modelling of such systems by coupling a recently developed theoretical model for organic mixed electronic-ionic conductors with the redox chemistry of wood-based redox polymer for energy storage applications. The aim is to

H2O2 – Fuel and Energy Technology for the Future

Researching all-organic photo- and electro-catalysis to explore novel pathways to produce hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, and convert this fuel into electricity with a novel fuel cell technology. In order to achieve high-rate and large-volume production of H2O2 and conversion into electricity, we suggest to research and develop a novel catalytic paper electrode technology. These paper electrodes

EPIC – elektro- och fotokatalys inducerat i papper

Den vanligaste metoden att framställa papper görs genom den så kallade Kraft-processen. I denna process tas olika komponenter bort från träet för att möjliggöra vidare framställning av högkvalitativ cellulosa och papper. En viktig del i Kraft-processen är den så kallade avlignifieringen. Under denna process öppnas cellulosaväggen och porer av storleken från 20 till 50 nanometer
