Engineering Frustrated Lewis Pair Active Sites in Porous Organic Scaffolds for Catalytic CO2 Hydrogenation
Shubhajit Das, Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Jacob Terence Blaskovits
Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs), featuring reactive combinations of Lewis acids and Lewis bases, have been utilized for myriad metal-free homogeneous catalytic processes. Immobilizing the active Lewis sites to a solid support, especially to porous scaffolds, ...
Amer Chemical Soc2024Assessing the effect of O2 dithering on CH4 oxidation on Pd/Al2O3
Under periodic lean/rich operation generated by repeated O2 pulses (O2-dithering), the abatement of CH4 and NO is enhanced compared to static operation. However, it is not well understood how the dithering parameters (pulse amplitude and frequency) affect ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2023Nitrogen oxides in the free troposphere: implications for tropospheric oxidants and the interpretation of satellite NO2 measurements
Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois
Satellite-based retrievals of tropospheric NO(2)columns are widely used to infer NOx (equivalent to NO + NO2) emissions. These retrievals rely on model information for the vertical distribution of NO2. The free tropospheric background above 2 km is particu ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2023Human personal air pollution clouds in a naturally ventilated office during the COVID-19 pandemic
Dusan Licina, Shen Yang, Akila Muthalagu
Personal cloud, termed as the difference in air pollutant concentrations between breathing zone and room sites, represents the bias in approximating personal inhalation exposure that is linked to accuracy of health risk assessment. This study performed a t ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Anisotropic In-Plane strain engineering Ni(OH)2 to activate alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction
Realizing a hydrogen economy strongly requires alkaline water electrolysis to achieve large-scale generation of H2, but lacks stable and efficient catalysts. The insufficient active sites in Ni(OH)2 impair the catalytic performance of alkaline HER. Herein, ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2023Rapid transformation of wildfire emissions to harmful background aerosol
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
Wildfires are a significant source of organic aerosol during summer, with major impacts on air quality and climate. However, studies in Europe suggest a surprisingly low (less than 10%) contribution of biomass burning organic aerosol to average summertime ...
Berlin2023Spectroscopic characterisation of TCV divertor towards a detached regime
The challenge of power exhaust of the high heat and particle fluxes foreseen for ITER and the forthcoming nuclear fusion reactors can be mitigated by operating in a detached divertor regime.This regime has been the object of three decades of studies, as it ...
EPFL2023High concentration of black carbon in northern Pakistan: Characteristics, source apportionment and emission source regions
Atmospheric Black Carbon (BC) is one of the absorbing components of solar radiation which potentially affects human health and regional climate. In the current study, BC mass concentrations were regularly observed for pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons using ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Assessment of personal exposure to particle and gaseous air pollutants in residences and offices
Maria Viviana Gonzalez Serrano
Poor indoor air quality has been associated with health issues and decreased work performance. Personal exposure that takes place both in outdoor and indoor environments is the result of dy-namic processes and complex interactions between people and surrou ...
EPFL2023Energy inequality and air pollution nexus in India
Energy usage, inequality, and their impacts are deeply intertwined, especially in India. Every year, cooking using biomass-based solid fuel usage causes death to tens of thousands of Indians, specifically, economically unprivileged people. Solid fuel burni ...
