ENERGIX-Stort program energi

Next generation thermoelectric energy converters

Dette prosjektet tar sikte paa aa utnytte spillvarme fra elektrometallurgisk industri til a generere elektrisk kraft. Virksningsgraden for denne prosessen er ganske lav med bruk av halvledere. Vaar ide er aa bruke ioneledere, for derved aa oeke virkning sgraden.

NANO2021-Nanoteknologi og nye materiale

Nanodesign to Improve the Catalytic layer of the polymer Electrolyte fuel cell (NICE)

For å realisere bruk av brenselceller i transport-sektoren, er det blant annet nødvendig å redusere bruken av platina metall i katalyselaget, der hydrogen og oksygen omsettes. Dette prosjektet utforsker en spesiell hypotese, nemlig at det vil gi mindre friksjonstap (entropiproduksjon) hvis kataly...

Reverse ElectroDialysis; a Sustainable DC Power Source

Hvis saltvann og rent vann blandes på en kontrollert måte, kan vi oppnå å ta blandingsenergien ut som mekanisk eller elektrisk energi. Den prosessen som utnytter den mekaniske energien i et kraftverk kalles revers osmose. Dette prosjektet søker å optimalisere det elektriske arbeidet man kan få u...
