How to develop catalysts for Solar-to-Fuel devices based on molecular components

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
The light-driven water splitting reaction to generate molecular hydrogen and oxygen is one of the most promising processes for producing clean fuels. In the approach we are following we attempt to construct a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell based on molecular components.

Probing interlayer interaction in Van der Waals materials

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Many layered materials can be mechanically exfoliated to atomically thin sheets, the most famous being graphene. This opens the possibility to stack different layer types together to form materials with novel properties: van der Waals (vdW) systems. The extent to which vdW systemsdiffer from the mother materials is governed by the interaction between the different layers.

Atmospheric-pressure argon microwave plasma - treatment of sugarcane

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Biomass treatment by atmospheric pressure plasmas to enable the production of bioethanol is a big issue today. Discharges favor the degradation of lignin because it creates efficiently reactive species that interact strongly with the biomass. A surface wave discharge (SWD) in argon at atmospheric-pressure generated by a Surfatron device was studied by optical emission and mass spectrometries.

Particle Transport for Nuclear Reactor Modeling and for Proton Radiotherapy

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
In this talk I will give an overview of ongoing efforts at Delft University in the area of particle transport methods for both neutron transport as occurring in reactor physics systems as well as for proton transport that is relevant for proton radiotherapy.

Recent progress of studies on plasma-detachment and plasma-material interactions by utilizing linear plasma devices developed in Nagoya University

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
   The recent progress of plasma-detachment research as well as plasma-material interaction studies in Nagoya Univ. are outlined in this seminar. Research on plasma detachment, which is thought to be one of the most promising methods to reduce heat load on divertor plate, is currently underway in the linear diverter plasma simulator, NAGDIS-II.
