The principles that govern catalysis at solid-liquid interfaces are at the heart of energy storage technologies, enabling chemical reactions required to store energy in batteries, to release it in fuel cells, and to convert it in solar-to-fuel systems.  Catalysis at this interface proceeds from the localization of charge onto surface atoms, forming catalytic intermediates.

Photovoltaic solar energy (PV) has demonstrated spectacular cost reduction and performance enhancement over the past decades. Cumulative global installations are expected to grow to the multi-terawatt level in the coming decades, making solar energy one of the most important sources of sustainable energy for mankind.

This talk will outline a simple but general analysis for multiple proton-electron transfer reactions, based on the microscopic theory of proton-coupled electron transfer reactions, recent developments in the thermodynamic theory of multi-step electron transfer reactions, and the experimental realization that many multiple proton-coupled electron transfer reactions feature decoupled proton-elect

Overview story on ASML and Research at ASML. As part of this story, selected technical Research topics will be addressed in more detail.

Strong coupling of light and matter can give rise to a multitude of exciting physical effects through the formation of delocalized hybrid light-matter states.
