Autonomous light tracking system containing well-developed photocatalysts for enhanced nitrate reduction to ammonia generation KU Leuven
Nitrate reduction to ammonia (NRA) is a very recent yet effective strategy to convert NO3- into NH3 at ambient conditions. It is a promising alternative for the Haber-Bosch process and as such an important step to realizing a fully carbon-neutral Europe. By employing density functional theory calculations, the first aim of this project is to screen different NRA catalysts (e.g., transition metal compounds), investigate the relationship ...
Micro-Processing Stable Optoelectronic Perovskite Thin Films KU Leuven
All-inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite is increasingly being considered for applications well beyond photovoltaics, for example, as the active regions within thin film photonic devices like cameras and LEDs. Its high-temperature optically active black phase (>320°C) is metastable relative to its non-perovskite yellow phase at room temperature (RT), representing a major impediment for real-world applications. In 2019, a fundamentally new and ...
