Low-carbon electricity and heat production is essential for keeping the decarbonization targets and climate mitigation goals. Thus, an accurate understanding of the potential environmental impacts constitutes a key aspect not only for the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions but also for other...
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 continuous gas flow as a method to remove F-terminations from multilayered V2CTx...
Applications of 2D MXenes are limited by the difficulty of controlling bulk termination groups after the initial HF etching step without forming surface oxides. Here, we report on gas hydrolysation using a continuous flow of Ar (g) with a controlled partial pressure of H2O (g) as a new method to...
Considering the improved safety, reduced cost, and high volumetric energy density associated with Mg batteries, this technology has distinct advantages for large-scale energy storage compared to other existing battery technologies. However, the divalency of the Mg2+ cation cause sluggish...
This paper examines the electrical treeing phenomenon in fluoropolymers under AC voltage. A specialised test setup was designed to evaluate two distinct fluoropolymers, fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA), with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) serving as the...
Denne rapporten er leveranse D1.2) Report on results of Serious Gaming methodology and results. Rapporten presenterer spillet og beskriver arbeidet gjort med å utvikle det. Spillet heter «The serious fishy game» og er utviklet som en del av prosjektet Compareit Opportunities and challenges with...
This report is a deliverable in the Compareit project, and presents work conducted between 2021 and 2023, a period in which the Norwegian aquaculture industry has undergone development of new production systems for salmon farming, and the introduction of a new tax regime. This report presents the...
The paper investigates the influence of different impurity/scrap elements on the high cycle fatigue (HCF) properties of 6082 Al-alloy. Accordingly, HCF tests are carried out on the different variants- GA1, GA2 and GA3 (designed as a function of varying impurity content)- of this alloy, which...
This paper aims to develop new methods for monitoring oxidative and thermal glycol degradation through solvent analysis. Methods for quantifying TEG, and for quantifying some degradation products (small glycols and acids), were successfully developed. The results were validated by applying two...
Guanidine is a privileged scaffold in drug discovery. Herein we report our investigations into the acid promoted amination of pyrimidine-bearing cyanamide to produce N, N’-disubstituted guanidines. Hydrochloric acid was found to be a suitable catalyst, and the substrate scope using conventional...
This paper presents a comprehensive approach to multiscale and multiphysics modelling of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) by combining physics-based simulations with data-driven techniques. The modelling approach is tailored to specific end-use scenarios, ensuring that parameter selection aligns with...
Natural refrigerant CO2 has become a viable choice for refrigeration units for land-based and offshore applications due to its environment-friendly nature and compactness. The CO2 transcritical cycle allows operating in colder climates and in elevated ambient temperature conditions and with...
An office building in Trondheim, Norway, was used as a case study to test the influence of Predictive Control (PC) for the optimization of energy use on the employees’ thermal comfort. A predictive control was implemented in the Building Energy Management System (BEMS) by operating on the supply...
This paper examines the integration of AI and data technologies into sustainable urban development, emphasizing Norway's unique cultural and environmental context. It first explores how concepts like trust and sustainability inform urban planning and operations. Then, the study assesses AI's...
