PhD defense: Modeling of Plasma-Driven Electrified Chemical Conversion Processes by Non-Equilibrium Kinetics by Qinghao Shen

Event, to
Qinghao Shen
Electrified chemical conversion has emerged as a key enabler of renewable energy utilization and carbon neutrality. Among the available sustainable pathways, plasma-based nitrogen fixation (NF) stands out as a particularly promising route, enabling the carbon-free synthesis of nitrogen fertilizers by directly harnessing renewable electricity.

DIFFER Seminar: Towards Accurate Modelling of Plasma Surface Interactions via Insights from Gas-Surface Dynamics

Seminar, to
Jörg Meyer
Advancements in quantum chemistry computer codes and, more recently, machine learning have significantly evolved the modelling of gas-surface dynamics, enhancing both accuracy and complexity [1]. This progress has primarily focused on comparing simulation results with well-defined molecular beam experiments.
