After almost four decades, chemists from Leiden University and DIFFER have resolved the discussion about the correct model regarding the simplest chemical reaction in heterogeneous catalysis, which is essential for fuel cells.

Leidse en Eindhovense scheikundigen hebben na decennia de discussie beëindigd over het juiste model voor de eenvoudigste chemische reactie in heterogene katalyse, die essentieel is voor brandstofcellen.

Can you coat flexible solar cells with a water resistent coating, at the speed of roll to roll processing? In 2013, DIFFER and Fujifilm Research joined forces in an Industrial Partnership Programme to speed up this important step in the production of cheap, flexible solar cells.

The key to boosting hydrogen storage in metal nanoparticles is understanding the role of defects, conclude physicist Andrea Baldi (Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research DIFFER) and scientists from Delft, Amsterdam and Groningen in Physical Review Letters.

At the COP24 UN Conference on Climate Change in Katowice, ITER's (and former DIFFER colleague) Greg De Temmerman gave a strong overview of the potential of fusion energy and progress at the ITER site.
