DIFFER Seminar: The influence of doping on the chemical activity of metal clusters

Seminar, to
Joost Bakker
Abstract: Gas phase metal clusters can act as a model system to investigate the active sites of more complex catalyst materials whose reaction mechanisms are poorly understood. However, real-world catalysts often comprise multiple elements with a mixing ratio optimized for better selectivity and reactivity based on screening.

DIFFER Seminar: Rapidly attributing extreme weather events to climate change: progress and challenges

Seminar, to
Sara Kew
Abstract: Our climate is warming, and along with it, extreme weather events that can cause large human and economic loss, are on the increase.

DIFFER Seminar: Inorganic nanomaterials from the gas phase - on the way to high-performance materials

Seminar, to
Prof. Dr. Hartmut Wiggers
Abstract: The growth areas of energy conversion and storage in particular have created a massive demand for new active materials in recent years. In the field of heterogeneous catalysis, transition metal compounds are of particular interest, if only for reasons of sustainability and availability.

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.

Rijnhuizen Reünie 2025: 10-10-10

Event, to
Kasteel Rijnhuizen
Het is zover! Op 10-10-2025 tien jaar na de verhuizing van het instituut is het hoog tijd voor een reünie van oud-Rijnhuizenaren. (Met oud-Rijnhuizenaren bedoelen we medewerkers die een aanzienlijk deel (orde 8 jaar) van hun carrière op Rijnhuizen hebben doorgebracht).
