• 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 ...
