Perspective on Sn-Based Electrocatalyst Stability published online in ACS Energy Letters!
November 11th, 2021
A collaborative perspective paper where Marilia and Ruud, together with the ELCAT group in Antwerp, discuss the importance of stability of Sn-based systems for carbon dioxide reduction to formate has just been published online in ACS Energy Letters. We hope this accelerates research on the stability of these systems!
Paper Andrea published online in I&ECR!
July 19th, 2021
Andrea's first paper on 'Modeling the Performance of an Integrated Battery and Electrolyzer System' has just been published online in I&ECR. In the paper we develop and validate a model to optimize the performance of an integrated battery and electrolyzer device (the Battolyser).
Katie and Iris start their PhD
May 21st, 2021
As of April 15, Katie and Iris have joined the group as PhD candidates. Their work is part of the RELEASE program. Katie will work on GDE electrodes for carbon dioxide reduction, while Iris will work on integrating carbon dioxide capture and electrochemical conversion. Best of luck in the coming years!
