Electrochemistry and nanostructured electrocatalysts for tackling substance abuse. University of Antwerp
Selective sequential electrocatalysis Ghent University
The project will develop methods to include electrocatalysis as an integral part of complex molecular construction strategies. Catalysts will be designed to operate at given potentials to enable their use in conjunction with other organic or organometallic functionalization methods. Detailed studies will be carried out on individual reactions to then combine these in follow-up reactions and functionalization steps. The goal is to integrate ...
Electrocatalysis Mediated by Organopalladium Complexes Ghent University
The work describes the unique use of electrochemical energy (electrons) as reagents in chemical
reactions. This will be achieved through interactions with metal centers capable of accepting and
donating electrons. This ability to shuffle electrons at the metal center is the foundation of reactivity
of these metals enabling interactions with reagents that lead to bond forming events.
I will focus on a metal that is ...
Towards a targeted optimization of electrocatalysts by combining electrosynthesis with in-situ electron paramagnetic resonance. University of Antwerp
Unlocking the triple nitrogen bond: increasing the Faradaic efficiency with enhanced electrocatalysts achieved through a combination of high-end electrochemistry and electron microscopy. University of Antwerp
Targeted optimization of electrocatalysts by combining electrosynthesis with in situ electromagnetic resonance Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Electrocatalysts and polymer thin films for solar-driven vapour phase water splitting. An investigation by electrochemical impedance and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy KU Leuven
A zero carbon society will require not only renewable electricity, but also renewable fuels. One of the attractive options are devices that mimick natural photosynthesis and produce hydrogen from water using solar energy. Even more elegant is a recently developed type of device which uses ambient air as the source of water. This could be installed anywhere, since only sunlight and air are needed. The production of hydrogen from water involves ...
