DIFFER researchers have demonstrated that coupling between electrolysis and plasmolysis leads to a novel route for CO2 conversion. The researchers are working in the frame of KEROGREEN, which is a European project on conversion of CO2 into green liquid fuels.

The province of North Brabant is investing 850,000 euros in the innovation coalition 'Nuclear energy for the future'. DIFFER will assist in the development of a so-called molten salt reactor.

Researchers from DIFFER and collaborators have developed a catalyst from simple materials that generates ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen at relatively low temperatures. This Thursday, they publish their findings in Nature Catalysis.

Alex van de Steeg (DIFFER and TU/e) mapped CO2 plasmas to figure out the reactions at play when CO2 splits into other molecules at temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun. Recently he obtained his PhD cum laude.

The growing production of renewable, but intermittent electricity, gives rise to a need for new electroactive molecules and materials that can be used in batteries for energy storage.
