    Debye physicists and chemists control catalyst structure at the atomic scale

    Novel core-shell catalyst design published in Nature Materials. Our MCC group members, Jessi, Liselotte, Giorgio and Petra, found a new way to create better bimetallic catalysts. In a collaborative effort with Soft Condensed Matter (UU), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Sorbonne University, they show that the catalytic activity of bimetallic catalysts can be enhanced up…

  • Petra de Jongh in wetenschapsprogramma Atlas

    Op woensdag 28 april 2021 was Petra de Jongh te zien op NPO2 in het wetenschapsprogramma Atlas, om uitleg te geven over de rol van duurzaam waterstof in de energietransitie (in het Nederlands, item start op 13:38). Waterstof kan daarin een spilfunctie vervullen, omdat het fossiele brandstoffen en grondstoffen kan vervangen in de industrie, zwaar…
