Breaking Scaling Relations for Highly Efficient Electroreduction of CO2 to CO on Atomically Dispersed Heteronuclear Dual-Atom Catalyst
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Conversion of CO2 into value-added products by electrocatalysis provides a promising way to mitigate energy and environmental problems. However, it is greatly limited by the scaling relationship between the adsorption ... -
Hydrogen Safety Considerations: Mitigating Risks and Securing Operations in Enclosed Spaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The increased interest in hydrogen as a versatile and environmentally friendly energy carrier has led to its recognition as a potential solution for addressing environmental concerns and challenges associated with transitioning ... -
Enabling long cycle life lithium-ion capacitors through electrode-electrolyte interface optimization
(PhD thesis UiS;749, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Electrode-electrolyte interfaces in electrochemical cells represent critical boundaries between the electrode and electrolyte where most charge transfer or storage processes are initiated. Accordingly, the interface ... -
Prediction of Optimal Production Time during Underground CH4 Storage with Cushion CO2 Using Reservoir Simulations and Artificial Neural Networks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) in aquifers for underground natural gas storage (UNGS) can improve the operating efficiency of the storage facility during gas injection and production and later serve as a solution for ... -
Day-ahead optimal scheduling of micro gas turbine-based microgrid considering electricity and heating energy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Microgrids are considered as the crucial element in the integration of various distributed energy resources in buildings. They are capable of operating in both grid-connected and islanded mode and have shown immense potential ... -
Selection of Optimal Well Trajectory Using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm and TOPSIS Method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study presents a novel approach for optimizing well paths in extended reach drilling (ERD) wells. Different trajectories can be used for ERD wells, each with its pros and cons. Previous research overlooked certain ... -
Experimental and theoretical investigation of the mechanisms of drying during CO2 injection into saline reservoirs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A viable CO2 storage resource must have sufficient storage capacity, reliable containment efficiency and adequate well injectivity. Deep saline formations stand out in terms of storage capacity and containment efficiency. ... -
Exploring the behaviour of Silicon by empirical analysis of galvanostatic charge-discharge curves
(PhD Theses;, Doctoral thesis, 2024)The capability of battery materials to deliver not only high lithium (Li) storage capacity, but also the ability to operate at high charge/discharge rates is an essential property for development of new batteries. First, ... -
Influence of fluid viscosity hierarchy on the reverse-circulation displacement efficiency
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Reverse-circulation cementing is an alternative strategy for well cementing where the cementing fluids are injected directly into the annulus from the surface. This cementing strategy can reduce downhole circulation pressures ... -
The Effect of Lost Circulation Material on Herschel-Bulkley Parameters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)To hinder loss of drilling fluids into downhole formations while drilling geothermal, CO2 injection or petroleum wells, Lost Circulation Material (LCM) is added to the drilling fluids. These materials consist of many ... -
Lithium-Ion Capacitors: A Review of Strategies toward Enhancing the Performance of the Activated Carbon Cathode
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Lithium-ion capacitors (LiC) are promising hybrid devices bridging the gap between batteries and supercapacitors by offering simultaneous high specific power and specific energy. However, an indispensable critical component ... -
Dynamic Performance and Control Strategies of Micro Gas Turbines: State-of-the-Art Review, Methods, and Technologies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The stringent energy and climate change regulations have resulted in a growing share of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources (i.e., solar and wind) in the global energy mix. This has influenced the use of fast and ... -
Rheological properties of rock-based geopolymer slurries with different dispersant and counterion combinations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is responsible for a significant part of global CO2 emissions. A potential alternative to OPC is alkali-activated materials (AAM), which do not contain OPC and are not ... -
Assessment of Yield Stress in Oil-Based Drilling Fluids
