Additive and digital manufacturing of transient sensors and bioelectronics
Transient electronics have emerged as a promising class of devices, capable of breaking down without harmful side effects to their environment. They have tremendous potential as bioresorbable electronics for temporary applications in the human body, and as ...
EPFL2023Surface Oxygenate Species on TiC Reinforce Cobalt-Catalyzed Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
Andreas Züttel, Wen Luo, Qian Jiang
Carbide-supported metal catalysts attract extensive research interests owing to the special properties of metal carbide and the interactions between metals and the carbide supports. While surface oxide species are inevitable in carbide materials, their rol ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021Design, synthesis, reactivity, and magnetic properties of uranium based oxide and nitride complexes
The activation of small molecules is a paramount challenge in modern chemistry. The use of cheap and abundant molecules such as N2, H2, CO2, or CO as energy supplies or as precursors for fine chemicals production is highly desirable. In particular, the onl ...
EPFL2021Highly localized azimuthal measurements in the CROCUS reactor towards the validaiton of high-fidelity neutronics codes
Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Pavel Frajtag, Fanny Vitullo
Highly localized in-core measurements are necessary for the validation of neutron transport calculations with high spatial resolution. In the present work, a miniature neutron detector developed at EPFL in collaboration with PSI was used to carry out a set ...
2021Small Molecule Activation by Multimetallic Uranium Complexes
The development of new processes for the selective and sustainable transformation of abundant small molecules constitutes one of the major research areas in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. These molecules as CO2, CO, N2 and H2 are abundant reservoi ...
EPFL2019Preparation of high-conductivity, high-capacity phase change media capsules with enhanced thermos-chemical stability in thermal energy storage applications
Thermal energy storage using the effects of the latent heat in the solid-liquid phase transformation has found its way into every day applications. Reusable, organic phase change media stabilize low temperatures of parcels, and salt/water tanks act as buff ...
EPFL2019Four-electron Reduction and Functionalization of N₂ by a Uranium(III) Bridging Nitride
Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone
N2 is a cheap and widely available but very unreactive molecule. Notably, the only industrial process for the conversion of dinitrogen is the Haber-Bosch process to form ammonia, but under very harsh conditions (high temperature and pressure). Here, we rev ...
2018Synthetic neutron camera and spectrometer in JET based on AFSI- ASCOT simulations
The ASCOT Fusion Source Integrator (AFSI) has been used to calculate neutron production rates and spectra corresponding to the JET 19-channel neutron camera (KN3) and the time-of-flight spectrometer (TOFOR) as ideal diagnostics, without detector-related ef ...
