Cogeneration of electricity and valuable chemicals in PEM fuel cells. KU Leuven
A lot of economically valuable chemicals are obtained in industry through oxidation and reduction reactions. While many of these processes are highly exothermic, liberating energy as heat, they generally do not reach high energy efficiencies because most of this liberated energy cannot be recovered efficiently. Fuel cells offer the possibility to produce these chemicals through electrochemical reactions while converting the released energy ...

The regulation of photosynthesis by ethylene in tomato KU Leuven
Ethylene is a volatile plant hormone that plays a regulatory role in many aspects of vegetative plant growth and development, including the regulation of photosynthesis. It is also regarded as an 'aging' hormone, as it is required for processes such as climacteric fruit ripening, leaf and flower senescence, and abscission. In addition, ethylene is also involved in regulating plant responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses.

Catalysis and solvation based strategies for building block recovery from End-of-Life polymers KU Leuven
Since the advent of entirely synthetic plastics in the beginning of the 20th century, humanity has entered the Age of Plastics and has not left it ever since. Gradually, different types of functional polymers were developed and employed, serving as cheaper, lighter and often safer alternatives to traditional raw materials like metal, glass and paper. This plastic revolution brought a vast amount of new opportunities to our growing economy and ...
Ionic Liquids for Carbon Dioxide Separation on Membranes KU Leuven
One promising method involves the use of membranes incorporating ionic liquids (ILs) that readily absorb CO2. Although several ...
Towards the Development of Novel Cladding Materials based on Nanolaminated Ternary Carbides (MAX phases) for Different Nuclear Systems KU Leuven
After the Fukushima Daiichi accident, the interest in novel materials to improve nuclear safety and fuel cladding performances not only during service conditions but also in accident scenarios increased. For light water reactors (LWR) such as the Fukushima Daiichi reactor, the accident tolerant fuel (ATF) concept was developed to increase the coping-time during an accident by increasing oxidation resistance of the clad materials while ...
