• CO2 gasification reactivity of char from high-ash biomass 

      Phounglamcheik, Aekjuthon; Vila, Ricardo; Kienzl, Norbert; Wang, Liang; Hedayati, Ali; Broström, Markus; Ramser, Kerstin; Engvall, Klas; Skreiberg, Øyvind; Robinson, Ryan; Umeki, Kentaro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Biomass char produced from pyrolysis processes is of great interest to be utilized as renewable solid fuels or materials. Forest byproducts and agricultural wastes are low-cost and sustainable biomass feedstocks. These ...
    • Computational and Experimental Druggability Assessment of Human DNA Glycosylases 

      Michel, M; Visnes, Torkild; Homan, Evert; Seashore-Ludlow, Brinton; Hedenström, Mattias; Wiita, Elisee; Vallin, K; Paulin, Cynthia BJ; Zhang, Jiaxi; Wallner, Olov; Scobie, Martin; Schmidt, A.; Jenmalm-Jensen, Annika; Warpman Berglund, Ulrika; Helleday, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Due to a polar or even charged binding interface, DNA-binding proteins are considered extraordinarily difficult targets for development of small-molecule ligands and only a handful of proteins have been targeted successfully ...
    • Empirical Kinetic Models for the CO2 Gasification of Biomass Chars. Part 1. Gasification of Wood Chars and Forest Residue Chars 

      Várhegyi, Gábor; Wang, Liang; Skreiberg, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The gasification kinetics of charcoals and biomass chars is complicated by several factors, including chemical and physical inhomogeneities, the presence of mineral matter, and the irregular geometry of the pore structure. ...
    • Identification of a Pivotal Residue for Determining the Block Structure-Forming Properties of Alginate C-5 Epimerases 

      Stanisci, Annalucia; Tøndervik, Anne; Gaardløs, Margrethe; Lervik, Anders; Skjåk-Bræk, Gudmund; Sletta, Håvard; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Alginate is a linear copolymer composed of 1→4 linked β-d-mannuronic acid (M) and its epimer α-l-guluronic acid (G). The polysaccharide is first produced as homopolymeric mannuronan and subsequently, at the polymer level, ...
    • Influence of Atmosphere and Temperature on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emissions from Green Anode Paste Baking 

      Arnesen, Kamilla; Aarhaug, Thor Anders; Einarsrud, Kristian Etienne; Tranell, Maria Gabriella (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Coal tar pitch, a well-known source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is used as a binder of petroleum coke in prebaked anodes used for electrolysis of aluminum. Anodes are baked up to 1100 °C over a 20-day period, ...
    • Limitations of Ultrathin Al2O3 Coatings on LNMO Cathodes 

      Østli, Elise Ramleth; Tesfamhret, Yonas; Wenner, Sigurd; Lacey, Matthew J.; Brandell, Daniel; Svensson, Ann Mari; Selbach, Sverre Magnus; Wagner, Nils P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      This study demonstrates the application of Al2O3 coatings for the high-voltage cathode material LiNi0.5–xMn1.5+xO4−δ (LNMO) by atomic layer deposition. The ultrathin and uniform coatings (0.6–1.7 nm) were deposited on LNMO ...
    • Removing fluoride-terminations from multilayered V2CTx MXene by gas hydrolyzation 

      Fagerli, Frode Håskjold; Wang, Zhaohui; Grande, Tor; Kaland, Henning; Selbach, Sverre Magnus; Wagner, Nils Peter; Wiik, Kjell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Two-dimensional MXenes have shown great promise for many different applications, but in order to fully utilize their potential, control of their termination groups is essential. Here we demonstrate hydrolyzation with a ...
