      The electroreduction processes on a Mo electrode in a Na-Zn liquid metal battery cell with a molten NaCl-CaCl2-ZnCl2 electrolyte were investigated at 565°C. The effect of the battery operating parameters on the loss rate ...
    • Evaluation of Gas Composition from Laboratory Scale Electrolysis Experiments with Anodes of Different Sulphur Content 

      Aarhaug, Thor Anders; Kjos, Ole Sigmund; Gudbrandsen, Henrik; Ferber, Alain Marc C; Ratvik, Arne Petter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      With the anticipated decrease in available anode raw materials, future anodes are expected to contain higher levels of impurities. Currently the implications of this are being investigated through evaluation of electrochemical ...
    • Hydrogen quality sampling at the hydrogen refuelling station - lessons learnt on sampling at the production and at the nozzle 

      Bacquart, Thomas; Moore, Niamh; Hart, Nick; Morris, Abigail; Aarhaug, Thor Anders; Kjos, Ole Sigmund; Aupretre, Fabien; Colas, Thibault; Haloua, Frédérique; Gozlan, Bruno; Murugan, Arul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Fuel cell electric vehicles and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure are developing quickly in Europe, the USA and Asia. Hydrogen quality for transport applications requires compliance with ISO 14687-2: 2012 and EN 17124:2018 ...
    • Mapping of hydrogen fuel quality in Europe 

      Aarhaug, Thor Anders; Kjos, Ole Sigmund; Ferber, Alain Marc C; Hsu, Jong Pyong; Bacquart, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      As part of FCH-JU funded HyCoRA project running from 2014 to 2017, 28 gaseous and 13 particulate samples were collected from hydrogen refueling stations in Europe. Samples were collected with commercial sampling instruments ...
    • Online monitoring of aluminium primary production gas composition by use of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy 

      Aarhaug, Thor Anders; Ferber, Alain Marc C; Kjos, Ole Sigmund; Gaertner, Heiko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Online monitoring of aluminium primary production raw gas is challenging due to the high concentration of HF in the presence of water. Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) analyzers retrofitted with sapphire optical windows allow for ...
    • Perfluorocarbon Formation During Rare Earth Electrolysis 

      Osen, Karen Sende; Martinez, Ana Maria Cuellar; Gudbrandsen, Henrik; Støre, Anne; Sommerseth, Camilla; Kjos, Ole Sigmund; Aarhaug, Thor Anders; Gaertner, Heiko; Chamelot, Pierre; Gibilaro, Mathieu; Massot, Laurent (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      A challenge during rare earth (RE) electrolysis is to avoid emissions of perfluorocarbon (PFC) green-house gases. The objective of this work was to study how to operate the RE electrolysis process with neither PFC formation ...
